Finding More Specific Information in Article Databases

Academic Search Complete

Article databases help us to find more detailed and more current information on our research topics. Academic Search Complete is a great article database to start in because it includes: 

  • Articles from popular publications (like magazines and newspapers) as well as scholarly journals.
  • Articles for most topic/subject areas. 

Let's try searching Academic Search Complete using a broad search for our topic: "reality television" stereotyp*
