How can I find articles and more using online databases and print sources?

Maag Library subscribes to many databases with other OhioLINK Libraries. Databases can include article citations, book citations, videos, photographs, newspaper articles and more depending which database is selected.

Within most databases there are many journal titles. Databases provide an index to articles of many subjects or just one subject depending which database is used. After submitting a search the database provides citations, abstracts (frequently), and full text (sometimes) for articles.

Print periodicals are also available to browse; however, if you need a specific subject you may want to look in an index or database to locate a potential article first.
