| Articles |
|
Articles
are found in periodicals. Examples of periodicals are magazines,
journals, and newspapers. Scholarly (also called peer-reviewed or
refereed) journals are one of the primary means of disseminating ideas
in academic scholarship.
|
| |
How To Find Articles |
| |
|
Articles are located by searching for your topic in an article database (sometimes called an article index). First,
select an appropriate database from the Library Find Articles
page or choosing one of those listed below. After selecting a database to search, type in search terms. Articles
are generally more specific than books and may require a narrower
search.
IMPORTANT SEARCH TIP: If you are not getting the results you want from
your search:
- Try different search terms or different combinations of terms (see
terms listed under books above)
- Try a different database
Example of an efficient
search:
- (gender or sex): the parentheses and OR allow you to include more
terms in one search
- The * is a wildcard, so you will find role or roles
- AND requires that the concepts of gender/sex and roles and women and
Islam/Muslim are ALL present in the resulting articles.
