Where can I find articles online?

First, you can find articles in the library's subscription databases, like EBSCOhost Web and Gale Databases, which you can access from the library's page on the Central Penn website or from the library tab in Blackboard.

You might also look for articles in Google Scholar, where you are more likely to find articles from scholarly journals and other credible resources than if you simply search in a general search engine.

If there is a particular journal you want to consult, you can try to locate its website and see if it offers any articles free of charge (and if it doesn't, be sure to check with a librarian--we may have an online subscription to the article in one of our databases).

Finally, be sure to check the guide for your program to see if we've listed any other online resources that could be useful to you.
