Check out the Articles & Databases and find databases (collections of articles or books) as an annotated bibliography!

1. To find the relevant databases across all collections, use the search bar on the right, under Databases A-Z. Type in a discipline or format.

(Do not get confused with the left-hand search bar “EBSCO Discovery”, which collects articles in one collection only. )

2. Read each description to identify which database covers the years you look for, the countries or topics of your focus. You may have to search several to thoroughly cover your idea.

For example, in the image above, one link leads to the articles between 1969 and 1990, and the other only access to the articles from 1990 to the present.

When searching for resources for your paper or seeking any help, ask our librarians.

If you’re still worried about what and how to ask for help, here are some tips.

College research ain’t easy. It’s nothing like the papers from high school, because the training wheels are off. You are part of the academic conversation. New vocabulary, technical writing, and using citations to talk with scholars/professors about proof you have done your homework behind the thoughts.

Luckily, while not a short-cut, there is a wise tool to add to your skillset. In the library’s databases, you can search
“Literature review” AND “your topic”

Remember to use the double quote mark to help the computer ignore:

1. literature without the reviews, 
2. reviews that aren’t about your topic, and
3. Articles that mention your topic but are not “literature reviews.”  (the image below is of a Venn diagram of literature AND review– with a subcircle inside the overlap for  “literature review” )
