Finding articles

Need to Quickly Find One or Two Articles on a Topic?

Library Databases are essential to use when you are researching a topic in the literature.
But, when you're in a time crunch, and only need 1-2 articles on a topic for a course assignment, I recommend using either of these tools:

  1. ARTICLES search box on the Adler Library homepage (library.adler.edu). *BE SURE to click the ARTICLES tab before you type your topic in the white search box.
    Articles tab highlighted over white search box
  2. Google Scholar (scholar.google.com). BUT FIRST link your Google Scholar settings with Adler Library's journals as explained in the box below.

Need to Do a Deeper Dive Into Your Topic in the Scholarly Literature?

Best Bet = Subject-Specific Databases include journals in a single field of study and will provide you with search results from scholarly journals unique to an academic discipline.
Depending on your topic, you may want to explore how scholars in related fields such as business, psychology, gender studies, etc. are talking about your topic.

POINTING FINGERTIP:  Library databases with the EBSCOhost interface offer a "Choose Databases" feature which gives you the ability to cross-search several databases simultaneously. Watch this video to learn how to use this feature!
