Suggested Databases

Databases allow you to structure a search for terms in a more limited and curated place than a typical search engine.

Our library subscribes to many databases that provide citations, abstracts, and full-text articles in newspapers, magazines, trade journals, and scholarly journals.

To find peer-reviewed articles, there's usually a setting in advanced search or on the left side of the search results to limit by this!
