History - HSTA 200 (The French Revolution): Find Articles

Database Searching Tips

The MSUB Library subscribes to many databases, which contain thousands of full-text articles. When accessing these databases from off-campus, log-in with your NetID & password. Different databases have different appearances and user interfaces. In general, most off similar search functionality.

 

Spend some time brainstorming keywords & search terms to improve your search results. When you find a good article, look at its Reference list or Works Cited page because these can often lead you to other good sources. 

 

Keyword searching is the default in  most databases.

  • Use important nouns as search words
  • Try using synonyms of your search words to increase results
  • Avoid common words: "a," "an," "the," "to," "of," etc.
  • Use double quotations around search terms to search for an exact phrase. Example: "French Revolution"

Databases

Use these databases to find articles on your topic. Searches can be limited to scholarly and peer-reviewed journals in most databases.
