PERIODICALS

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. The library has outlined some of the differences between Scholarly vs. Popular Articles. 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.
Academic Search Complete: Academic Search Complete contains both scholarly and popular publications on a wide variety of subjects areas.
Business Source Complete: Searches scholarly and trade publications for topics pertaining to business and industry.
Lexis-Nexis Academic: Contains the fulltext of many national and international newspapers since 1980. Click on the link and then click on the news tab near the top left of the screen.

WEB SOURCES

Choose your sources wisely. The library has compiled a list of things to consider when Evaluating Web Sites.

YouTube: Has some great lectures by scholars and experts - you'll find these mostly on university "channels" like YaleCourses or Harvard Business Review.

You must cite web pages just as you must cite books and articles. For help citing webpages and other resources, take a look at Guides for Documenting Sources or contact the Writing Center.
