Finding Articles

Databases search thousands of journals, magazines, and/ or newspapers all at once. These are the most useful in the field of Sociology, but MSU has many others that may prove helpful on the Database A-Z list!

Go here for an alphabetical listing of all the electronic databases at the library.

If the PDF or HTML link isn't provided under the result, click on the yellow "Find it @ MSU" button in order to:

get the article electronically full text via a different database
find the physical copy of the article in the library via Search.
or, if the above methods aren't available, to request via interlibrary loan.
