Use these databases to find articles relating to your research subject. Each one works a little differently, but it is better to use general subject keywords and then narrow your subject from there. Also remember to check the “Full Text” box in order to limit the search to articles which can be printed out today. Many of these databases are offered through the OhioLINK Library Network.
