The following is a list of databases that will guide you to up-to-date periodical articles.  You can refer to Find a Book or Article as these tips will also be useful in your search of databases. You can also see a complete listing of STLCC Library databases. Please ask a reference librarian for assistance in your search.

 A database is a collection of articles which are accessible online, but which (in most cases) first appeared in print sources such as scholarly journals, magazines written for the general public, or newspapers.  The articles have been placed online so that they can be easily searched and accessed.

A database normally lets you search for articles in a variety of ways, including by keyword, subject or author. (See Find a  Book or Article.) Some of the articles you retrieve will only be article abstracts, or summaries.  Other articles will appear in full-text form, meaning the entire article is available to you.  Most databases have a full-text option you can choose so that only full-text articles will appear in your search results.

E-books can be accessed through the library and can be downloaded and read on-line.
