Finding Articles in Magazines and Journals

Databases for Magazine and Journal Articles

 

Start at the Library Home page with the tile labeled A-Z Databases or you can use the links below:

Newspaper & Journal Articles:

  1. Academic Search Ultimate from EBSCO. Almost all the entries in this database have the article attached, which means it is a "full-text" database.  Also, it is part of the EBSCOHost interface, so you can use MY EBSCO to save the citations.  If you don't know about MY EBSCO, you should register at the "Sign In" tab at the top and set up an account.
  2. Proquest like Academic Search Complete, Proquest is a database that has magazines, newspapers, and journals on all subjects. The information goes from everyday knowledge to highly complex research journals.
  3. Google Scholar - to get the KU configuration, you must go through the Library Website. https://library.kutztown.edu/googlescholar
  4. Newsbank (Newspaper Database) - Major newspapers from around the world.  Full-text - the articles are all in the database. 

Other sources

  1. CQ Researcher publishes 44 reports each year on contemporary, social, and political topics. Each report is the equivalent of approximatly 20 pages. Includes extensive bibliographies, websites and other resources.
  2. Biography in Context is the library's largest database for biographical information.  It is good for background information for your icon analysis.
  3. JSTOR is a largely full-text database of ebooks and articles from scholarly peer-reviewed journals.  There are a lot of back issues for JSTOR journals, JSTOR is especially good for information in the Humanities.

Finding Videos

Here at KU, the DVDs in the Library Collection and all our streaming video titles can be found under the tab in the Search box called  BOOKS, EBOOKS AND MEDIA

Type in the name of your event, a person, or a keyword, and click on the SEARCH button (do not use the RETURN key).

This will search the library catalog for you.  When you get the result list back, in the left column, select AUDIO-VISUAL, an old designation for non-print materials.
