Finding Articles Online

Finding Articles Online

The articles inside magazines, journals & periodicals are very useful sources of information. Articles are different from books because:

• they are much more up-to-date
• they are shorter (less to read!)
• they concentrate on topics or specific aspects of topics
• there are many articles being published all the time so you have more choice.

The library catalogue, OPAC, does NOT tell you what articles the Library has, only which journals or periodicals, so the easiest way to find articles is to use the online databases.

• Academic Search Premier

• Business Source Premier

• MAS Ultra: School Edition

• Regional Business News

• Global Market Information Database (GMID)

Newspaper Articles

Newspaper articles are also very useful sources of information, and can be found in the LexisNexis Academic and the Factiva databases.

• Factiva (Dow Jones)

• LexisNexis Academic
