Finding Research Sources 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. If you need help searching any of these databases, please do not hesitate to contact your library!
Note: Be careful with what types of sources you are citing, as these resources may include many different types of sources. When in doubt, as your professor if the source is appropriate for your assignment!
