1. When you find an article in a research database look for the button to access the article's full-text online through the library!

2. No database has everything! That means we suggest you search at least 2 or 3 databases to find scholarly articles on your topic. 

3. Did you know...you can ask a librarian for help after work hours? If you are having trouble finding articles or help with what database to use, then Ask Chat with a Librarian to talk to a real person even up to 10pm on certain days. Ask Chat with a Librarian hours and details.
