The Library subscribes to many databases that have or link to scholarly articles
♦ Some article databases, such as Academic Search Ultimate, index articles in magazines
and newspapers as well as articles in scholarly journals,
but offer ways to limit your search results to scholarly journals.
♦ Like Academic Search Ultimate, Web of Science is multidisciplinary, but indexes only scholarly sources:
journals as well as books and conference proceedings.
♦ Discipline-specific databases, such as BIOSIS, PubMed, PsychInfo, and SciFinder
take a broader view of scholarly/professional literature and may also index publications types such as
dissertations, books and book chapters, conference proceedings, patents, and technical reports.
Most of these databases will allow you to limit your results to only journal articles.
♦ Indexes a variety of publication types including scholarly journal articles.
♦ Does not have a way to limit results to only scholarly journals, so pay attention to what you have retrieved.
♦ Look backwards in the literature by looking up references from the works cited section.
♦ Look forward in the literature by seeing who cited an item. Web of Science databases, Google Scholar, and some other databases and publisher websites give you Cited By references.

it will connect to our e-subscriptions, catalog, and our Interlibrary Loan form.
If the Find It @ Fresno State link does not appear, click on the double arrow on the end of the last row of the reference entry
