Selected Databases Use databases to track down articles in journals. Articles usually have a specific focus, are relatively short, and are relatively current. Some databases, particularly the general ones, include the full text of the article. You can find the databases by going to the library's home page and selecting "Electronic Resources." Type in the name of the database that you need from the "Quick Search" menu. Background Information General Databases News Databases Find other databases by subject.

NUcat will also tell you whether material is in the main library or in another Northwestern University library. Cite your material
