Chapter 6: Using Library Resources
Information Resources
Finding Journal Articles
A good way to begin searching is to identify which library databases contain information on your topic. You can find descriptions about each database from the Database Descriptions available on the UMUC ILS Web site. The Database Descriptions can help you to select the appropriate databases to search for articles on your topic. You can also use the topic search categories in MdUSA. Each topic search category includes a set of databases related to that topic.
For more information about searching MdUSA, see the Guide to Searching MdUSA. For additional information about using indexes to find articles in a library or database, see Finding Journal Articles.
