1. Finding Articles In the Databases

2. The databases are where you go to search for either articles or for article citations. DATABASES

3. FULL TEXT ARTICLES Many of the databases contain ARTICLES IN FULL TEXT However, a FULL TEXT database does not mean that everything in the database is available in FULL TEXT
