Finding Scholarly Articles

Scholarly literature or articles that report on original research are indexed in databases that help you explore and find out what has been published on a given topic or subject. Although many of these databases contain full text articles, the original and key function they serve is to help keep track of the scholarly work being produced world wide, often organized around academic disciplines. Articles are published in journals and other types of periodical publications whether online or in print. The library subscribes to many of these publications and offers Tripsaver service for accessing articles that exist beyond our local collections. Below are some recommended databases that index scholarly and trade publications that are relevant to business and management topics.
