If you want the most current information on your topic, you need to look for articles.
Nipissing:
Look for articles via Nipissing Search, or by going to the Databases list.
Are you required to use peer-reviewed journal articles? These are journal articles that have been critically reviewed by subject experts before being accepted for publication. If so, you cannot use articles from popular magazines or newspapers. Nipissing Search (and most databases) will allow you to limit your results to peer-reviewed articles.
To access the full text of an article through Nipissing Search, look for an Online Availability link. The article might be available in more than one place. Select a link to see the full text.
Within the databases, select the title of an article, and look for the PDF Full-Text link to see the full article. If you don't see a full text link, the Find It button will try to link you to the full text in another database. The Find It button will also indicate if the article is available in print or microform format in the Library. If the full text of an article is not available in any format in the Library, you can request it through Interlibrary Loan.
