Got Articles?
Presenters: Glorian Sipman and Jennifer Paris

You’ll find articles from academic journals, popular magazines, and newspapers using the powerful ProQuest database as well as other MiraCosta College Library databases. Topics covered include narrowing your search; finding full text articles without digging through stacks of printed material; and even how to do most of your research from home! Amaze your friends, impress your professors, and sleep easier at night.
