Journal Articles

Databases contain electronic versions of the articles found in the print version of journals and magazines. The list below is a small sampling of databases which are relevant to this course. You can search or browse other databases by SUBJECT (Business) or by the database TITLE (List of Databases).

The databases are easily accessible off-campus by clicking on the database name and typing in the last five (5) digits of your Social Security Number (without hyphens), and your last name (in lower case). If you need additional assistance with accessing the databases, contact Cedric Davis (334-229-6998).

If the full-text of an article is not available in a database, check for the journal title in E-Journal Finder to determine if the article is available in another database. If the full-text of an article is not available in any of the databases, you may order the article through the Interlibrary Loan service. Also, search for the journal title in the Library’s HORNet Cat (Catalog) for availability of print journals in the Serials Department on the 3rd floor.
