Searching for Articles

After you have chosen a topic, it is time to begin your research.  It is a good idea to include resources from a variety of sources -- books, periodicals (magazines, journals, newspapers), and websites.

The Mount Aloysius College Library subscribes to many databases.  These range in coverage from the general (e.g., ProQuest Research Library) to the specialized (e.g., Gender Watch or Westlaw Campus Research).  It is important to choose a database to suit your research needs.  Ask a Reference Librarian for help to get you started in the right direction if you are uncertain about which one might be the best choice for starters.  It may be necessary for you to search in several different databases in order to locate enough relevant information to support your research.
