Finding Journal Articles - Search Tips

You can search the Library's databases to search for full text journal articles. Go to "Start Your Search" at the Library's homepage. Near the bottom of the screen, you will see the section titled "Databases (Search for articles)" and the drop down menu "Search databases by..." that enables you to browse databases by title (e.g., JSTOR, Business Source Premier) or subject (e.g., Art, Education, Organizational Leadership). Once at a list of databases, click Connect under the database you wish to search. To learn more about a particular database, view the database description list.

You can also find a list of databases pertinent to your subject area or major through the Library's online research guides. To access, begin at the Library's homepage and click "Research/Subject Guides" under Research (right-hand side of the screen). Once inside a subject guide, click on the Databases tab.
