Research, Citation, & Class Guides: GenEd 130: Individual and Society: Overview

Finding Articles for Your Group Project

For the signature assignment in GenEd 130, your group needs to find scholarly, peer-reviewed articles on a social issue. Each group member needs to find at least one article from a particular disciplinary perspective. The following videos will show you how to use two specific Library databases to find the articles that you need. By using these specific databases, you don't have to worry about trying to figure out what discipline the article comes from--you will use the search limits in these databases to narrow your results to particular fields of study. The two databases are:

JSTOR
Use this database if you are looking for articles from the disciplines of Anthropology, Gender & Women's Studies, or Sociology.

Partial funding for Collections V and VI from the Russell Moratz estate. Partial funding for Collection VII provided by Student Technology Fees.
PsycARTICLES
Use this database for articles from the discipline of Psychology.

Partial funding provided by UW System Shared Electronic Collection.
