Welcome to the Subject Guide on Electronic Journal Articles and other Information Resources at MSU!
To navigate the guide, use the tabs at the top to find different kinds of materials.
This Subject Guide is designed to help you find electronic journal articles here at Missouri State University. These articles are located in journals, which are in databases that are presented by their subjects in this Guide.
The subjects are arranged alphabetically and listed in the middle column on this page. They are also listed by broad areas, or themes, in the right column of this page. Each subject provides links to bulleted databases holding articles on that subject; at the end of the bulleted list are some suggested, similar subjects for you to "see also."
One good place to start research is using the General Journal Databases (Covering Multiple Subjects), found under the next Tab on the top right. These can retrieve diverse articles on your topic from many disciplines. Then, go on to search under the specific subject(s), e.g. chemistry, economics, or philosophy, of your topic.
In the bottom two tabs of this Guide, other types of documents besides articles, such as encyclopedias or government information sources, are presented in databases by their document type.
