LibGuides: SO 101-03: Introduction to Sociology: Finding Articles

HawkFind

Use these multi-subject databases to search for articles in academic journals, newspapers, magazines and other resources.

Use the word "AND" to combine your keywords to make your search more specific, e.g. "substance abuse" AND "domestic violence."
Use synonyms and alternative or related terms - broader or narrower - to expand your relevant results, e.g. "teenagers" | "adolescents" | "youth"
Use the truncation "*" (star) symbol to search for words with common roots without entering them individually, e.g. searching for teen* retrieves "teen," "teens", "teenaged", "teenagers." Use the "star" symbol (hit "shift" key + 8) to add truncation to your search term.
You can limit search results in many databases to academic/peer-reviewed journals, by publication date, or full-text only.

Search Google Scholar for scholarly full-text materials available in addition to those you locate in HawkFind.
If there is a link to the right of any of your search results, follow the link to view the full article (you may not have access to all the articles in your search results).
Check out the Google Search tips video (created by Concordia University) for additional help.
Be sure to access Google Scholar from the Monmouth University website in order to view accessible articles.
