Why Use Articles?

Articles are an excellent source for

  • Current information and news

  • Commentary and opinion

  • general and/or specific information

  • Scholarly research

 

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

Finding Articles- Using Health-Specific Databases

Use the library's collection of health-specific databases to find articles and other items on your topic.

EBSCOhost Databases

Reference (Background Information)

Other Databases

Additional science-focused and multidisciplinary databases may also be helpful when searching for information on your topic.

Search Google Scholar

Google Scholar is a popular way to search but the system cannot perform deep searches or consistently provide full-text access. If you do use Google Scholar, make sure your account has Bradley University saved to the library links so that you can use the "Get it @ Bradley" link to access the full text or request the item through interlibrary loan.
