Finding Articles Using Databases
The Library subscribes to hundreds of databases you can search to find articles for your research and assignments.
What are Library Databases?
Online tools that allow you to search for newspaper, magazine, and journal articles by keyword and subject. Article databases are useful when you have a topic, but not a specific citation.
