Why use articles?

Articles are an excellent source for

  • Current information and news

  • Commentary and opinion

  • General and/or specific information

Each article type has its strengths and weaknesses depending on your information need. 

 

Articles are found by searching the library's article databases, searching under "Articles" in the library catalog, or using Google Scholar. 

PubMed search tips

Google Scholar

Google Scholar is a popular way to search, but it cannot perform deep searches or consistently provide full-text access. If you use Google Scholar, use the customized link so that the "Get it @ Bradley" links will appear in the results.  "Get it @ Bradley" links you to access the library for full-text access or to request the item through interlibrary loan.
