Two Types of Article Databases
Which article database to use depends upon your topic.

2. Subject Databases

• Is your topic in a particular subject area?

If so, use a subject database. Subject databases specialize in a particular subject, and the articles indexed are generally from scholarly sources. Examples of subject databases and the kinds of articles they identify are:

Business Source Premier
