Q. I need to do research using scholarly articles, but I am a student from a different college. How can I get started?

Chances are your library has some great databases you can use with scholarly articles. You can go there in person or you can find the library's web page through your college website. That will be your best bet.

Something that is free for everyone is Google Scholar. Google Scholar searches across many scholarly disciplines and sources: articles, books, abstracts, court opinions, academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, and universities with non scholarly results filtered out.
