Finding\u00a0articles in databases<\/h2>\nYour campus library invests a lot of time and care into making sure you have access to the sources you need for your writing projects.\u00a0Many libraries have online research guides that point you to the best databases for the specific discipline and, perhaps, the specific course. Librarians are eager to help you succeed with your research\u2014it\u2019s their job and they love it!\u2014so don\u2019t be shy about asking.\n\nThe following video demonstrates how to search within a library database. While the examples are specific to Northern Virginia Community College, the\u00a0same general search tips apply to nearly all academic databases. On your school's library homepage, you should be able to find a general search button and an alphabetized list of databases. Get familiar with your own school's library homepage to identify the general search features, find\u00a0databases, and practice searching for specific articles.\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/phUqd8nlO5Q","rendered":"
