Article Databases

You can find articles from scholarly journals, magazines and newspapers by searching with OneSearch. You can also do so by searching in a specific database.

All Databases

If you're looking for a specific database to search, look under the Library's A-Z Databases list. Benefits of searching in specific databases rather than with OneSearch include specialized search options, lists of recommended subject terms, and even less-cluttered search results.

Find a Specific Journal

If you're looking for a specific journal (or magazine or newspaper), use JournalSearch. This looks for any journal, magazine, or newspaper that is available online or in print.

Google Scholar

In addition to the library's databases, you can also search for scholarly articles with GoogleScholar. 

When you use GoogleScholar on-campus, you will sometimes see links to the right side of your search results that will take you to full-text articles either through the Library's databases, or on other websites.  If you are working off-campus, you can set up GoogleScholar to provide these same options when you are logged in to your Google account.  To set up Google Scholar:

  1. Go to GoogleScholar, and log in to your Google account.
  2. In the menu that appears at the top, left (on computer screens), go to Settings.
  3. Select library links.
  4. Search for Frostburg State University.
  5. Add a check to the box next to Frostburg and click the Save button.
