Journal Article Databases
- JSTOR | Multidisciplinary full-text database. Great for humanities research. Not a best choice for medical research as the most articles from many journals are between 2-5 years old.
- PyschInfo | Index database for psychology. The best and most complete psychology database.
- PubMed | Database run by the National Library of Medicine with over 34 million medical articles. Best choice for medical articles including drug trials.
- SocIndex | Database covering all aspects of sociology including social work, social psychology, and gender studies.
- Political Science Complete | Database covering political theory, comparative politics, and other political topics.
- Google Scholar | A comprehensive but unsophisticated search covering scholarship from all areas. Best used for tracking down specific articles and publications. Interfaces with our library subscriptions while on campus.
Law Review Databases
- HeinOnline | The most complete database available to us for law review articles. Select "Law Journal Library" from the second box on the homepage.
