There are a number of tools provided by the library that will help you to find articles (both scholarly and popular/news based).  

The WorldCat Library Catalog allows you to search for a variety of resources at one time. WorldCat can search for articles and books (and more) simultaneously.

In addition, the library subscribes to a large collection of subject-specific databases so your searches will produce more relevant and specific results. These databases are most easily accessed via Research by Subject guides.  You can browse the guides by subject and select a guide to view the databases that pertain to that area of study.  You can also search WorldCat from within any Research by Subject guide.

An additional resource that will help you to find articles is Google Scholar. Learn about the difference between Google Scholar and the Library's databases. Find out how you can access Library subscription materials through Google Scholar, even when you're off campus.
