Two Types of Periodical Databases

2. Subject  Databases

• Is your topic in a particular subject area?

Most often you will still search one of our All Subject databases, especially EBSCOhost academic search premier.  However, the Library does have a couple of subject databases.  Subject databases specialize in a particular subject, and the articles indexed are generally from scholarly sources. Examples of subject databases and the kinds of articles they identify are:

	Literature Resource Center indexes articles from journals and essays from books on criticisms of literary works and biographies on authors.  These are written by renowned critics and academics and some essays are from the early twentieth century.  All articles are in full text.
	CINAHL Plus Text indexes articles in scholarly and trade journals in the nursing, allied, health, medical assistant professions, in addition to a number of other journals related to health and medicine.  Some articles are in full text.
