ENG 102 Zhao: Article Databases

a guide for the research paper

Top 5 Article Databases

Research Tips

TIP #1 -- Keep a research notebook -- note what databases you've searched and what terms you've used. Sometimes you'll find the "perfect" key words in the 3rd database and you'll want to go back to the first 2 and search them over.

TIP #2 -- Look beyond the first 10. There may be good stuff a way down the list.

TIP #3 -- When you see something good, READ IT—look at the subject terms and abstract.

TIP #4 -- What if I can’t link to full text? See a librarian!  It may be in a different database, available in our paper subscriptions, or available from another library.  We can help you navigate those choices.
