Find Articles & Journals

---

Articles

Search databases to find references to articles in scholarly journals, popular magazines, newspapers, etc. Some databases provide the full-text of articles, some provide only citations or abstracts; others provide images and digital media.

Databases are listed by subject and A to Z by name.

Not sure where to start? Consult a subject or research guide or try a multidisciplinary database such as Academic Search Complete or Ask a Librarian for suggestions!

Journals

If you know what article and/or journal you need, search OBIS by periodical title to find out if Oberlin has print holdings or electronic access.

Note: If Oberlin does not have the journal you need, you may request photocopies of specific articles via Interlibrary Loan. It is not possible to request periodicals via OhioLINK.
