Article Databases (12 items)

Use these searching tools to identify articles in journals, newspapers, and other sources. All the databases provide citations to the material, many provide abstracts and many provide access to the full-text of the articles.

Off-campus access to most of these resources will require you to validate with your 14-digit library bar code. It's the number printed on your TU OneCard. Don't have your 14-digit library bar code handy? Click the button below, then enter your TU username and password and we'll show it to you:
