Databases
General Science
General Science is a good place to start looking for articles. This database contains a mixture of popular and scholarly sources. A portion of this database is full text. Searching hints:
- Select “Readers’ Guide Full Text.”
- If the “All - Smart Search” doesn’t work, try “Keyword” search instead.
- For more relevant articles, try limiting your search to “Feature” under the Document Type menu.
- Use “*” on the end of your term for variant endings, and “?” for variant spellings.
Academic Search Premier provides citations and a lot of full text to articles (both popular and scholarly) in periodicals and newspapers. Some hints:
- Use the “Advanced Search” tab.
- Use AND to separate concepts.
- Use “?” for word endings, and “*” for word variants.
- Limit by date and/or full text (if you’re in a hurry!).
Lexis-Nexis Academic Universe is a full text information service, and is the best place to look for articles from major newspapers such as the New York Times, Washington Post, and Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Hints:
- Select the Guided News Search tab.
- Select a news category and a news search. Ex.: General News; Major Newspapers
- Use w/n, w/s, and w/p, where n = a number, p=paragraph, and s=sentence. Ex: duck w/5 migration; ivory-billed woodpecker w/s Arkansas
- Use “!” to account for word endings, and “*” to account for word variants. Ex: duck w/5 migrat! and Arkansas
- Limit by date and/or publication title.
