Portuguese Studies

This page provides you with some information that will help you in searching the databases.

Primary sources provide raw material. It is not analyzed or interpreted. You (i.e., the scholar) must analyze the material. On the other hand, secondary sources offer someone else's analysis, interpretation or criticism of an activity or event.

To find an article on a specific subject, go to the Find Articles page and choose the most appropriate database.  If you need help choosing a database, contact the librarian. We are happy to help you!!  If you already know which article you want, you can access directly by using Journal Locator.
