Two
Types of Article databases
Which
article database to use depends upon your topic.
1. General Article databases
- Is
your topic general or cross-disciplinary?
- Currently
in the news?
If so, start
with one of the general article databases. These cover a wide range
of subjects and often database a mixture of popular
and scholarly sources. This is often a good place to
begin research. Examples of general databases and the kinds of articles
they identify are:
