Finding Journal Articles
Peer-Reviewed Journal Articles are one of the best sources of information for academic assignments.
Most journals are online. Some art journals remain in magazine/ hard copy format.
Library Databases hold Journals which contain thousands of Journal Articles.
Journal articles tend to be smaller in length (1-25 pages) and more specific studies or examples than eBooks/books.
You can go to a specific database and use the search capabilities it offers to really refine your search.
See A-Z databases > Subject
It is rare to search via a Journal Title itself, but they are great way to browse and discover unexpected work.
Indexes are a type of Database.
Some Journals and Databases are listed below.
