Articles in Journals, Magazines, and Newspapers - ME 333T - Engineering Communication - LibGuides at University of Texas at Austin

Finding Journal, Magazine and Newspaper Articles

For help in finding articles, we recommend using indexing tools. Some indexes only index; some index and include text for some of the articles. Always, though, you should see the citation for the article. This helps find the text for the article in the UT subscriptions. These databases are some of our favorites.

You will get totally worn out if you use all of them, so it is better to focus your efforts. Academic Search Complete is a good place to start. Each of the others has a special job or feature.
