Getting Started

Articles provide the most current, scholarly research on a topic, and using them effectively will help you write a better research paper.

To find articles by topic, use a periodical database. Periodical databases can be either general, like ProQuest Direct, or subject specific, like Philosopher's Index.

Databases can be accessed either on campus or off campus. If off campus, you will be promted for your St. John's Central user name and password.
