Articles and Databases

A simple combined search of two general, all-subject databases, Omnifile and Academic Search Premier, is a great place to begin searching for journal articles.

Then use the Finding Articles tab in the menu to access your discipline databases, e.g., Anthrohub or Ethnic Newswatch to find articles about specific topics and links to fulltext of many of the articles.
