Databases for Journal Articles

Academic Search Elite
- Why search here? Great starting point, with something for every subject!
- What's included? Lots of full-text, mostly peer-reviewed and recent, with some older and popular sources.
Science Direct College Editions
- Why search here? You are looking for full-text scholarly articles on science, education, psychology and business topics.
- What's included? Full-text of over 5000 journal titles in the areas of science, technology, business and medicine, published by Elsevier. A growing number of e-books are also included.
JSTOR
- Why search here? It’s an excellent tool for scholarly articles and books/chapters from university presses, covering most disciplines.
- What's included? The collection's strength lies in its complete back issues of journal titles covering 75 disciplines, while a weakness is a "moving wall" limiting access to the most recent journal issues - the coverage skews older, so it’s not always a great starting point for researching topics that need to have the most current sources.

Coverage starts in 1997 or later and continues to the present.
BioOne
- Why search here? You need articles covering biological, ecological, and environmental science topics.
