Article Databases - General
While you can go to the individual journals to find information about your topic, it's much more efficient to search an article database for your topic.
The ISU Library subscribes to many different databases that are useful to students and faculty interested in animal science. Deciding which database to use depends on what you are trying to accomplish. For example, does the assignment require you to find articles from the popular press, a trade publication, or scholarly journals?
General Database - Start basic and begin your search here. The databases specific to animal science are listed in the next box.
- Academic Search Elite This is one of the EBSCOHost databases; if you attended high school in Iowa, you've probably used some of the EBSCOHost resources. It indexes popular and scholarly publications.
