Journal Articles

Articles are published in JournalsJournals are collected and indexed in Databases. Databases organize information by subject and can be found at A-Z Databases. Below are some databases to help you get started: 

Research is not just scholarly articles.  Often you need to get contemporary reports on issues of the day from newspapers, or get a report written by a governmental entity.  Many government reports are online and available through the web.  Limit your search to specific domains by doing this: your search terms site:.gov     In this way you will only retrieve domains with .gov.  

You have found a great article within one of the databases, but the full text is not available.  What do you do?
