Finding Aricles
|
- Articles from periodicals (magazines, newspapers, or scholarly journals) cannot be found in MILES.
- To find an article on a topic, use a library periodical database such as:
- Academic Search Premier for magazines or journals
- Lexis-Nexis Academic for newspapers
- While articles can be found searching the public Web, articles that are found using a library database are:
- From credible, published periodicals
- Free to you (The library pays the subscription fee.)
- Indexed, so that you can search through many years of thousands of articles to find a manageable list of specific articles that are relevant to your topic
- The types of articles that your professors will expect you to use in your assignments
- Many databases, and these two in particular, provide the full text of the article, which you can print, email or download.
- When you are on campus you can access these databases simply by being logged in to the Marshall University network.
- If you are off campus, you must login when prompted by entering your MU ID number (your “901” number) and your 4-digit PIN, which is your birthday (MMDD).
