International Students' Guide: Find Articles

A resource guide to the Syracuse University Libraries for international students.

Find Articles Using Databases

Databases are great resources that collect and let you search for articles and scholarly research on a wide range of subjects, time periods, and publication types.  The Syracuse Libraries hosts hundreds of these databases, providing you access to thousands of resources electronically.

For some general research resources, there are some multidisciplinary databases and the SU Libraries' Online Tutorials and Videos guide that can help get you started:

  • SU Libraries' Online Tutorials and Videos: A guide that provides videos and other online tutorials to help you with the research process.
  • ProQuest: A recommended starting point, covering over 160 subject areas and publications ranging from popular magazines to scholarly journals.
  • JSTOR: A good resource for locating more historical scholarly articles on subjects such as the arts and humanities, sciences, and social sciences.
  • Nexis Uni: A full-text database, providing access to hundreds of national and regional newspapers, as well as business information and legal cases.
  • Access World News: An international newspaper database, offering selected articles from around the world and options to browse by country or region.

For more subject-specific resources, you can also search our databases by subject area or type.  These list our databases that are more focused on a specific subject area, and are great if you are looking for more in-depth information on a topic.

You can also browse our Research Guides, which are curated by your subject librarians. These guides offer great suggestions of where to start for your area of study!
