Finding Magazine and Newspaper Articles

How can I find articles in magazines and newspapers?

Many of our online databases contain the complete text of newspaper and magazine articles ("full text" articles). You can also use these databases to find the citations of articles for your research. The databases can be accessed in our libraries or from home using your library barcode that is found on the back of your library card. Follow the directions on the terminal's screen; ask library staff for help if they are not clear to you.
