JSTOR and Project Muse

JSTOR and Project Muse are both journal repositories.

Strengths: Everything in there is full text. Interdisciplinary.

Weakness: They don't have the breadth of Philosopher's Index or the ATLA Religion Databases.

JSTOR This link opens in a new window
Full text scholarly journal articles in Arts & Sciences, Biological Sciences, Business, Health and General Sciences from first volume through three to five years from the last complete calendar year (moving wall).
(JSTOR)
Project MUSE This link opens in a new window
Scholarly journal articles in the areas of literature and criticism, history, the visual and performing arts, cultural studies, education, political science, gender studies, economics, and more.

Library Search tool

Library Search (aka the search box on the library homepage) cross searches many of our databases. It is great for:

doing very broad, interdisciplinary searches
finding books/ebooks
looking up a specific source
