Find articles in databases

The databases listed below offer magazine and peer-reviewed journal articles. Several of the database are environmental and natural science-focused in their content.

Pro-tip! Not everything in a library database is considered "credible or authoritative" - it is up to you to determine which information is best to use on your Research Essay assignment.
