Databases mostly identify and locate articles published in magazines, journals, and newspapers but also index essays, book chapters, and monographs.
Tip 1: Some of the databases provide full-text coverage of journals - try to find a search box on their website.
Tip 2: If the database does not provide the full-text of the article, search the library catalog for subscribed sources.
Tip 3: For more precise searching, it is better to search the specific database rather than using discovery tool.
