InfoTrac's Expanded Academic Index, Ebsco's Academic Elite Index or Prquest. where they are on the homepage, how to do a basic search, how to determine if the articles are full-text or not, how to determine if the library owns the journal an article is in. Libraries are fun. Browsing the shelves is an education.
Curiosity is cool.
Y ou use the library all the time. Examples of what you looked for and what you found.
