Remember, to get help selecting a database: click on Databases on the Clarke Library Web site.

If you need articles from a specific area such as nursing or education, look on the Databases page for a subject - specific database such as CINAHL or ERIC. Similarly, to find other types of information such as articles in encyclopedias look on the Databases page under general databases.

Now you know how to search Academic Search Premier, an interdisciplinary (general) periodical database. What about other databases? Won't they look different?

Yes. But once you've learned the basics, it will be like driving a car you've borrowed from a friend. You know that there's a switch to turn on the lights or the radio--you just need to locate the controls. Even though they may look different, periodical databases have similar features. Check for help screens or ask a librarian.
