Databases are a great place to search for individual articles from academic journals, magazines, and newspapers.
While many news and magazine articles may also be found with an internet search engine, our subscription databases can provide you with access to older articles that are not available online and other pay-per-view materials, plus additional options to refine your search. As far as scholarly articles go, databases should be your first stop! Most scholarly literature is not freely available outside of a university.
You can use the quicksearch function on the library homepage, which is also in the search box above, for more general research or use the subject specific databases below for more focused research.
