Using Article Databases
Article databases allow you to access scholarly journal articles and often other resources like books, reference materials, and popular magazine and newspaper articles. Database search results are more focused and precise than those you find while web searching. Databases are also more trustworthy than the web. All material in databases is evaluated for accuracy and credibility by subject area specialists.
