Search the majority of our ProQuest databases at one time. Subjects include the arts, business, health & medicine, history, literature, science & technology, and social sciences.
ProQuest is one of the biggest article databases the library has. You can find something on almost any topic in here.
JSTOR is great for searching for full-text, scholarly articles, but it's important to remember that JSTOR is an archive and specializes in going back in time, not in being current.
Search for articles in multiple databases all at once. This will also search for books as well. You can use the list of formats on the left of your results to limit to only articles. Don't forget there's citation help available when you click on the "Cite" link when looking at the details of any book or article.
For more databases, see the library's full list by subject.
Now that you have a list of articles resulting from your search, you can begin reading the articles to find the ones that answer your research question. A good article for your assignment won't just be about your topic, but will provide an answer to your research question, in part or in whole.
When you've found one or a couple of good articles that speak directly to your research question, you're ready for step four.
Don't forget to start getting citations for your articles immediately!

The "Documents with shared References" link in Proquest is another way to find articles that may be part of the conservation, but aren't necessarily cited by your first article or in that article's list of references
