Below is the Academic Search Premier search page. This database contains both full text and abstracts of articles from numerous periodicals (magazines, newspapers, and journals). Academic Search Premier uses the advanced search page as its starting point.

To assist you in narrowing your search results, the database provides the following limits:

• Full Text provides access to some or all of the article's content.
• Scholarly Journals will find only articles that have gone through a review process by experts in the discipline.
• Publication lets you search within a specific journal or magazine title.
• Published Date From lets you search within specific time periods.
