CNST 1130: Work in Canadian Society

Finding Scholarly Articles on Your Topic

Databases are specialized search engines for finding journal articles. CBCA, Academic Search Complete, and JSTOR are helpful databases for CNST research. 

Note that the database CBCA (Canadian Business & Current Affairs) has a strong Canadian focus, while Academic Search Complete has a stronger U.S. focus. 

Interlibrary Loan: Articles

Many articles in the library databases are available in full text; If not, look for the Check for Full Text link.

This will take you to an interlibrary loan request form. Once submitted, the article will usually be delivered to your email account in 3-5 working days.

Scholarly vs. Popular Articles

Not sure if an article is scholarly? See the library's Scholarly Journals vs. Popular Magazines guide.

What Is Peer Review?

The majority of articles in databases come from scholarly peer-reviewed journals, but you should still critically assess your sources to ensure that they have been peer-reviewed.
