Locating Articles

The following print and electronic resources can help you find a particular article or articles on a particular subject:

• iCONN Databases
  The Connecticut Digital Library (iCONN) has made available several databases that are accessible both at the Library and from home. Outside the Library, you need a Connecticut public library card to log in. Databases include:
  • InfoTrac, which provides full-text magazine and journal articles on a variety subjects.
  • A newspaper database which includes full-text articles from The Hartford Courant, The New York Times, and other papers.
  • Health and Wellness Resource Center, which includes a collection of full-text articles from both popular and professional publications.
• Print Indexes
  Print indexes are especially useful for finding articles written prior to 1980 (most databases don't include older articles). The Main Library owns indexes such as the Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature and The New York Times Index.
• Web Sites
  Sites such as the Internet Public Library and NewsDirectory can help you locate full-text articles on the Internet.
