HOW TO FIND "REAL" ARTICLES "ON THE INTERNET"

SEARCH A SUBSCRIPTION DATABASE

The Essex Library subscribes to various electronic databases which contain magazine and journal articles. These articles also appear in paper format, so they are NOT Internet sources. However, a computer version is available to CCBC students, faculty, and staff from the library home page. Click on the heading for Find Articles on your topic, then select a database appropriate for the topic being researched.

GO TO A WEB SITE

Articles from the following web sites also appear in paper format, and are NOT Internet sources.

 

 

Some journals have their own web sites, which may include sample issues of the print publication. Use a search engine, such as Google, and type in the name of the journal to find its site.

PLEASE NOTE: COPYRIGHT vs. PUBLIC DOMAIN

There are few web sites with entirely free access to articles that have been previously published. This is because authors and publishers want to be paid for their work. They have a copyrighted interest in articles which have appeared in magazines and journals. In the case of the subscription databases, the library pays for usage. Material on the Internet which is available without charge to anyone using a computer is in the public domain.
