Journal articles
This section will help you find journal articles. The easiest way to find journal articles is to do a keyword search for your topic in LibrarySearch.
We also have databases to help you find journal articles and other relevant material for your subject (they may not all be included in LibrarySearch).
Using journal articles
Use journal articles in your assignments to get the most current research and thinking and read about specific aspects of a topic.
The two resources I highlight here, Literature Online and MLA Bibliography are the key databases for finding articles on your topic. Once you have run a keyword search and found relevant results, use the ‘Full text’ or ‘Full text Finder’ button to gain access if we have a subscription to the journal.
