So many resources for finding articles! To choose where to start, consider what you are looking for. Do you want to retrieve a specific article, or do you want to find articles about a topic? Do you want to find all the articles about a topic? Do you want to find articles from a particular author, grant, journal, or institution? Or perhaps you already have an article's PDF, and you want to get its citation information into EndNote, RefWorks, or another citation manager? Different databases work best for different tasks. Check out all that we offer, and contact me if you'd like to ask about choosing the right databases and crafting targeted searches for your research question.
