There are many different
periodical databases available from the Library web site. How do you
decide which one to use? Often your choice will depend on the topic
you are researching. Some periodical databases cover a specific subject
like education or psychology. Your choice might also depend on the
type of source you want to find. There are periodical databases that
include only newspapers, for example.
The MCC Reference Librarians created Databases by Subject that organizes the
periodical databases by either the subject or format they cover. If you
can't find an index that fits your topic or format, pick one of the general
article databases. They work for just about any topic and include a
mix of magazines, newspapers, and journals.
Also, you might want to try more than one database when researching your
topic. Although some of the content may overlap, there will also be
unique sources in each of the databases.
Here is more information on navigating around an article database.
