                                                           Databases and Web Resources

Databases are an excellent source of current information on reparations.  The following is a

list of some of the more useful databases accessible to North Park students.  Most will include

articles from scholarly journals and popular news magazines.  Many articles will be available

full-text on and off campus.

 

• To access the databases, go to www.northpark.edu/library and click on Databases/Articles in the column on the left.
• Click on Databases A-Z and select one of the following databases.
• If you are on campus, you can link directly to the databases by clicking on the links below:

 

Academic Search Premier – after clicking on Academic Search Premier, click on “continue”

 to enter into this interdisciplinary database of popular and scholarly articles. 

 

Lexis-Nexis is a database which includes full-text to local, national, and international newspapers.

 

JSTOR is a database of entirely full-text, scholarly journals.  Access goes back to the first issue of

each journal--sometimes as far back as the 1800's--but the most recent few volumes are not included.

 

WilsonSelectPlus is a full-text interdisciplinary database with a scope that is similar to Academic

Search Premier.

Websites can be unreliable because anyone can create them regardless of their authority on the

subject matter.  When writing a research paper, the use of websites should be kept to a minimum

and limited to those sponsored by well-known authorities or organizations such as those listed below.

Websites should meet the same criteria as any print resource. They should include a bibliography

of reliable sources and be appropriately current.  Remember to ask your professor for guidelines s/he

might have for using websites in your research.
