The Libraries have a LOT of e-journal subscriptions and hundreds of databases designed to help you find them. You can use PRIMO, the main catalog, to find interesting secondary sources (like articles!). For specialized US history topics, you may want to try America: History and Life. Both work in a similar manner.
NOTE: this is just a small listing of our databases. Full list of subject specific databases:
As noted earlier, databases each use the same keyword and subject system, so searching in the catalog will work in databases too. We can use the same searches as before to find articles. Below are examples.
NOTE: you'll probably need to try these searches in multiple databases.
"Haitian Massacre" AND Dominican AND memory
Try America: History & Life, PRIMO
FBI AND surveillance AND "Martin Luther King"
Try America: History & Life, PRIMO, and ProQuest (search database list)
