What is it?
Academic Search is a database that indexes articles from an array of academic topics. Find articles from fields such as social sciences, humanities, education, biology, chemistry, engineering, physics, psychology, religion and theology.
Why use it?
This is a great place to start research because the database covers a broad range of topics, it is easy to use, and many of the articles are available in full-text directly from the database.
How does it work?
Start out a search by typing words or phrases into the keyword search box. For more search results, click on the box that says "Also search within the full text of the articles."
When the search results appear, there are many options to sort the results. For instance you can sort by date or relevance, or limit the results by source such as academic journal, magazine, newspaper, etc.
