Use articles to find in-depth information on a specific topic.
Databases let you search for articles on your topic and will tell you in which volume of which journal it's published.
Sometimes a database will actually have a copy of the article for you to view online. This is called full-text, and it's a beautiful thing.
Other databases just tell you where to find the article, but don't have a digital copy to give you. In that case, you'll have to look for it in the E-Journal Portal. If we don't have it, request a copy through InterLibrary Loan.
