ENGL 199C / ATMS 111: Finding Scholarly Articles

How to Search for Articles

You can search the following databases to find scholarly articles on your topic. When searching, you may need to connect your keywords with the AND connector or use separate search boxes for each keyword. For example: "climate change" AND chocolate.

If a PDF of an article is not included in a database then click on the purple Check for Full Text button to see if we have the article. If we do not have an online version of the article, you can request a scan of the article. See the FAQ: How do I request a book/article we don't have? for more information.
