The article databases let you search for content in magazines, journals and other serial publications. Some databases are general and others cover specific subject areas. A good place to start searching for articles is the database Academic Search Complete because it covers a wide range of subjects and contains some articles in full text.
If you are searching for newspaper articles try Lexis-Nexis, which is another general database .
If, after checking Academic Search Complete, you need additional articles go to the Subject List of online periodical indexes. This list allows you to locate databases that cover specific subject areas.
For example, if you need articles about attention deficit disorder, select the Psychology category to view databases which contain articles on Psychology. PsychINFO is a good choice for finding articles from psychological journals, MEDLINE for the medical aspects of the topic and ERIC will find articles written in education publications.
