The Information Universe: Finding ArticlesArticle Databases (Indexes/Abstracts)
• Databases produced by different commercial publishers; often look/act differently from one another.
• Regularly updated
• Allow subject/author searching in a group of journals in a particular discipline or topical area.
• Some indexes also offer abstracts AND/OR FULLLLL FULLLLL TEXXXXT!TEXXXXT!

Choosing an Articles database (index)Choosing an Articles database (index)
•Look at the listings of article databases available via the library www.lib.berkeley.edu: includes listings by SUBJECT, NAME, etc.
•General Databases are often good places to start (particularly for newsy/topical issues)

The Information Universe (Now)
But Remember: Not everything is online!!!!!:
•Article Databases: Generally only go back 10-20 yrs online (some exceptions – e.g. Historical Newspapers)
•Not every journal is indexed (but most major ones are)
•Fairly small (but rapidly growing) subset of the books and journal universe is currently available in full-text
Online is Cool

The Information Universe
Remember Also:
•Not every topic has lots written about it, either in books or journal lit.
--Research on very current topics
--Research on radically specific topics
--Research on topics off the beaten academic track or off the current pop culture radar
