Find an ArticleIt can be a difficult task finding journal and newspaper articles for your paper. You may think typing a few words into Google is the best idea, but give the library resources a try. Articles are indexed and searchable in what librarians like to call databases. Many articles are available in full text and accessible from off campus just by signing in using your network login and password. The following links can help you begin your research journey.
If you're not sure where to begin, try Academic Search Premier, JSTOR or WilsonWeb Omnifile Full Text. Any of these resources have articles on a wide range of topics.
