This guide is designed to introduce you to library resource useful in the research phase of your assignments.
recommended databases
A database is the best place to start your research. You will find citations to journal, magazine, and newspaper articles in the library databases, frequently, you will find the full text of the article right in the database.
When searching in databases you will quickly find out that not everything is in full text. If you find just a citation (no electronic full text) click on the title of the article, and then the FIND IT button to determine if the article is in full text in another database, in our print journal collection on the fourth floor, or available for one dollar through interLibrary loan. If you have questions don't hesitate to contact the reference desk.
