"Where Do I Find Articles?"

Librarian and Student

UMUC provides access to more than 125 subscription databases, the majority containing full text articles. You can use the databases to find journal articles, as well as articles from major newspapers and popular magazines, on a wide variety of topics. To access, you will be using the UMUC Library Databases and E-Journals Web page, which is linked from the Information and Library Services main page. We have prepared a guide on how to Find Articles to help you with:

STEP 1:	Getting started
STEP 2:	Searching a database
STEP 3:	Improving your search
STEP 4:	Searching more than one database at a time
STEP 5:	Evaluating what you find
STEP 6:	Locating a print journal in a library
