Q. I need to find articles on child abuse for my English class.

Go to the databases by A to Z linked below.  The databases are in alphabetical order, so click on 'e' to search EBSCO, 'g' to search Gale and 'p' to search Proquest.

In Opposing Viewpoints and Issues & Controversies, you can just search child abuse. In Opposing Viewpoints, you will get a mix of Viewpoints (persuasive essays), academic articles, etc. You can click on the title link to get to the full article. In Issues & Controversies, you will find a list of articles, sidebars, etc. 

In Academic Search Complete you will get many results. Once you do your search, use your limiters on the left for full text, publication date, and Subject Thesaurus terms to refine the list.
