Find An Article
General/Multidisciplinary databases such as Academic OneFile and Wilson Omnifile Select are useful databases to search for articles on a wide variety of subjects and from a wide variety of sources (including scholarly journals, newspapers, and general magazines). (Need a primer on the differences betweeen academic/scholarly journals and regular old magazines? See this tutorial for a two minute explanation.)
However, for some papers you will write in ENG 201, subject specific databases may be more helpful for you to research specific topics. Here is a representative list of some key databases you can use (more databases can be found on the Databases A-Z webpage):
- ABI/INFORM Global
In ABI/Inform, users can find articles about business conditions, management techniques, business trends, management practice and theory, corporate strategy and tactics, and competitive landscape from more than 3500 publications (including scholarly journals, trade magazines, and major business newspapers). - America, History & Life The definitive database of literature covering the history and culture of the United States and Canada, from prehistory to the present. With selective indexing for 1,700 journals from 1964 to present, this database is an important reference tool for students and scholars of U.S. and Canadian history. Strong English-language journal coverage is balanced by an international perspective on topics and events, including abstracts in English of articles published in other languages.
