Use DATABASES to find journal articles and reviews
Databases are a quick and efficient means of finding published materials, usually journal articles, on a
given topic. Some databases provide FULL TEXT (complete articles) while others provide only
CITATIONS (journal title, page nos. etc). Monash won’t have all the items listed in these databases.
You will need to use the catalogue to see if the journal is held or use the SFX link provided in most
databases.
