What are scholarly articles?
Scholarly articles are written by researchers, professors, or students and are published in research or academic journals. Scholarly articles (also known as peer-reviewed or refereed articles) have the highest level of credibility because they have been put through a rigorous system of review as other experts in the author's field of research check the article for accuracy. Because scholarly articles represent high quality research and rigorous review, be sure to include them in your research.
Using Library Research Databases to Locate Scholarly Articles
The BCC Library provides access to over 100 research databases containing tens of thousands of full-text scholarly and professional articles, as well as reports, statistics, case studies, book chapters and some complete books in a wide range of subject areas. Using library research databases will give you higher quality, more focused results than you will find by only going to a Web search engine such as Google and Yahoo.
Fom the library homepage, click on ARTICLES/DATABASES, then click on SEARCH box.
