Research Guides: ANTH 276: Global Media ( HC ): Finding Articles

How to Find Scholarly Journal Articles

You can find articles from scholarly journals, along with newspaper and magazine articles by searching the library databases.
Some databases cover a wide-range of topics while others are subject specific. You can start your research using one of the general databases, but also try those listed under the subject you are researching. If you limit your search in our Database Finder according to subject, you will find what is referred to as our "Best Bets".
If you are not sure which databases to use, ask a Librarian for suggestions. Also look at the Research Guides to see if one was created for your topic.
