Where can I search for articles?
Answer
There are two main options for finding articles using library resources.
- Use the Discovery Search - This main search on the library homepage searches both our catalog and a selection of our database across many disciplines. It will be a very large search that you will then have to limit by type of source and subject.
- Search within a Specific Database - You can go into a specific database to search for articles. You won't find as many results as in the Discovery Search, but the articles will be within a specific discipline, so you may find less but more relevant results for your topic. To find articles within a specific database visit the Databases A-Z list or Subject Guides to learn what databases will work best for finding articles in a specific subject area.
