LIT225 Research Skills Guide: Use Journal Databases

Why should you use Journal Databases?

Journal databases:

  • Are the best source of academic or scholarly information for your assessments
  • help you locate peer reviewed articles
  • Are subject specific, so that you get more relevant results
  • Have many options for refining results

You can find the Library's databases on the Journal Databases page.

Databases are grouped into subject areas. The Education & Teaching will be particularly useful for your study.

Try it now

Go to the ProQuest Education Database database, and try typing in  some of your keywords from your Topic Analysis (you may need to sign in first with your Charles Sturt username and password).

  • Did you get less results than Primo Search?  Being an Education database, they should be more relevant to your topic.
  • Look at the HTML and PDF links to access the full text of the article.
  • If you cannot find the full text click on the Find it button to check if the article is available elsewhere.
