Q. What is a good general database to use when searching for articles?

A good place to start is a database called EBSCO Discovery.  It searches multiple subject databases at the same time.  Once you've done a keyword search, you can limit your results (on the left) to Scholarly/Peer-Reviewed articles, articles published within a certain date range, among many other limiters. 

If you're not sure where to start, please Ask a Librarian for more help via chat or by requesting a one-on-one consultation.
