"the largest academic database in the world" (1 Viewer)

[juggernaut]

er, im trying to find the database that the syd uni library lady referred to as the 'largest in the world'. apparently sydney uni recently just purchased it for 100g's or something but for the life of me cant remember the name she called it. ive been searching the library page online databases/journals but still nothing rings a bell. im sure other good uni's have it... anyone know what its called ?

1. The other unis don't.
2. You're asking a question pertaining to how to access something AT USYD.
3. Would you pay 6 figures for something everyone else gets as well?

quite frankly I don't give a shit if x database is "the largest" as long as it has the journals and articles I need for my essay.
