Databases provide access to journal articles and a variety of other materials, such as dissertations and government publications. Some databases include full text of articles, others include only abstracts (brief summaries) of publications, and some have only citations. If the citations you find in a database don't link to full text, doublecheck using the Ejournal Finder. If you still can't find full text online, use STARS to see if we have the publication in print or microform. |
