Database Help:
Full articles and books online
|
Introduction
The library databases listed
below provide full magazine, journal, and encyclopedia articles online. Those
listed as full-text usually provide only the text of the article, omitting
most graphics. The full-image databases provide pictures that look like
photocopies of the original printed articles. In addition to full articles,
we also have one database (NetLibrary)
that contains full books, including pictures and illustrations.
It is important to note
that most full-text and full-image databases only have full articles for the
last few years. The exception is the archival database JSTOR,
which contains the full-image of many older journal articles on various topics.
We also offer information
on how to cite full-text books and articles
in your bibliography.
Note: Database names
are hyperlinked to further information about that database when available.
