The library subscribes to many different databases that search the indexes of thousands of journals to help you find articles from journals, magazines and newspapers, as well as streaming videos and more! You can search and get full text from any computer with Internet.
Still not sure what database to pick? Try one suggested in a Research Guide for your subject or class or contact the reference desk.
Once you have found the description for a useful article in a database, you will need to get the article itself. The full article is called the "full text" in a library database.
