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 subject databases listed under Key Subjects on the Articles page.  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:

	Artemis Literary Sources 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.  (If you are searching OneSearch, links to Artemis will be to one of its interior databases, Literature Resource Center).
	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.
	Soc Index with Full Text indexes articles in scholarly journals from Sociology, Cultural Anthropology and other social sciences fields. Find many resources in the social sciences, including scholarly titles that cover topics such as Abortion, Anthropology, Criminology, Criminal Justice, Demography, Ethnic & Racial Studies, Gender Studies, Marriage & Family, Political Sociology, Religion, Rural & Urban Sociology, Social Development, Social Psychology, Sociology, Substance Abuse & Other Addictions, and Violence.
