To find articles, search the library's databases. Below is a list of some general databases that are usually good starting points.

 HINT: You can search in more than one EBSCOhost database at a time by clicking the "Choose Databases >>" link above the search bar.

How to search:

• In EBSCOhost databases, clicking the "Peer Reviewed" box will limit your search to "scholarly" or "academic" articles.
• Type a few keywords in the "Find" box (see the "Browse & Gather" video on the 'How-To' Tutorials tab for more help picking good searching words).
• Use the narrowing options on the right and left to get more specific (limit the date range, etc.).

Finding the article itself (an abstract is a summary, not a source!):

• Many articles are in full text; PDF format is best.
• In EBSCOhost, "Display more details about this journal" links mean that we have a subscription, but not through EBSCO. Click the link for more information.
• If we do not have full-text access to an article you need, check Journal Finder (see the 'How-To' Tutorials tab) to see if we subscribe in print or a different database. If we don't have a subscription, you may request the article through interlibrary loan.

To find a specific publication, such as Gender & Society, search for it in our Journal Finder tool. Journal Finder will link you to the appropriate database or will tell you where to find it if it is in the print periodicals collection downstairs in the library building.

For more help, see the "Using Journal Finder" video on the Video Tutorials tab.
