Libraries


To Find Articles:

  1. Go to your library website using the links below.
  2. Go to the research section.
  3. Click on the name of the desired research database. Good examples are listed below.

NOTE: You will usually be required to log in using your library card.

 

You can use the your library site to find and reserve books online, although you'll actually have to visit the library to pick up your selections. There's a lot of material that is NOT on the Internet, so it is a good idea to look at print resources as well as online ones.

 

Good Academic Databases:  (not all options available in individual library systems) 

  • Academic OneFile
  • CBCA Complete
  • Directory of Open Access Journals
  • Gale Virtual Reference Library
  • General OneFile
  • InfoTrac Student Edition
  • JSTOR
  • Newsstand (for newspapers)
  • Applied Science & Technology
  • Science Journals

 

For online resources, find the Find the section of your library's site that links to Research.
