ARTICLES

Scholarly vs. Popular Articles
Periodicals are where you should find most of the information for your research papers. Remember that there are scholarly publications as well as popular publications. Talk to your professor about which type of sources are best suited to your project.

Journals the Library Has
This is a searchable index of the periodicals Wittenberg owns in electronic and print formats. Location and dates owned are also provided.
If you need an article from a journal that is not owned by Wittenberg, you may request a copy of it from another library using Interlibrary Loan.

DATABASES

The following databases are good places to find information for your project. Sometimes only article citations are available, so you may have to use InterLibrary Loan to get a copy of the full article.

Business Source Complete

Searches scholarly and trade publications for topics pertaining to business and industry. This database is owned by EBSCO so you can search multiple EBSCO databases concurrently by click the Choose Databases link above the search box.
