All of the databases listed below will take you to articles published from a variety of sources--scholarly journals, magazines, and newspapers.  Some provide you with the complete text of the article, while others will give you just a short description and a link to our full-text finder, a tool that will search for the complete article in a different source.

Not sure what the best database is for your subject? Look it up on this list--each subject link contains a list of the best places to search

Ulrich's International Periodicals is a great way to learn more about a magazine, journal, or newspaper:

• Each entry can tell you whether the title is scholarly and/or peer-reviewed.

• Peer-reviewed (or refereed) titles have a symbol shaped like a referee's shirt next to them.

• Some entries have reviews, which can sometimes tell you a publication's political slant.
