Finding Peer-Reviewed Articles in the Library Databases
The following databases all look slightly different but at their core are searchable the same way that the Library Catalog is. We have access to over 300 different databases, below are just a select few that I have chosen to show your class. If you need help searching any of these databases, please do not hesitate to contact your library!
