HU EMPOWER - Finding Articles: Page 7 of 15 There are two types
of databases: general databases and subject databases. General
databases cover many subjects and often contain both popular and
scholarly periodicals. Sometimes general databases are used at
the beginning of the research process because they help you
narrow a topic. They are also used when your topic doesn't fit
into a specific subject, or if you want information that isn't
too technical. Examples of general periodical databases are:
|Academic Search Complete||multidisciplinary index for scholarly
journals and magazines with over 5,500 full-text periodicals .|
|America's Newspaper Collection||indexes fulltext local,
regional, and national US newspapers.| |OMNI File Fulltext Mega
Edition||multi-subject database providing full text articles.|
