Writing: Finding Articles

LIBRARY SEARCH


Advanced Search

This is a great place to start when you do not know where to begin.  The Library Search is the library's version of Google.  It searches both our library catalog and many of our databases all at once!

Finding Articles

Databases allow you to search for articles about your topic. They show you information about an article: the title, author, and name of the journal or magazine the article appeared in. This is called the citation. Some databases also contain an abstract, or summary, of the article.

Many databases also include the articles themselves (called the full text of the article). When that happens, you should see a link to an HTML or PDF document. If you do not see a link, click on

The yellow "Get it @GVSU" button

This will check the other library databases for the full text of the article.

Some databases also have information about other types of resources: sometimes they have information about books, book chapters, government documents, and other things.
