PERIODICALS AND ONLINE DATABASES
You can find additional information on a topic by researching articles in periodicals, e.g. journals,
magazines or newspapers. To find an article you can search a specific topic in an online database.
Delaware Tech's online databases can be found on the
Online Databases page.
Typically, an online database will allow you to search for your topic by typing a keyword or phrase,
e.g. abnormal psychology. The results from your search will display in a list of articles related to your
topic. You will have access to the entire article online if “Full Text” is indicated.
If you find an article using an online database keep in mind that these are actual periodical articles, not web sites.
