ENGL U101/U102 - Composition - Gallman: Finding Articles

Follow these steps to obtain the complete article, or full text, while searching:

• Look for a PDF Full Text or PDF link.

• No PDF Full Text or PDF link? Look for another full text link, such as Linked Full Text, Full Text Finder, or HTML Full Text. 

• Full text link does not give you the entire article? Ask a Librarian!

Since you have most likely chosen a film, song, show, movie, or other popular culture topic, your resources will largely come from magazines and newspapers. 

Use the databases below to find articles.

HELPFUL HINTS:

• Do not copy and paste the link in your web browser. The links are not stable and you will not find the article again.
• If you are finding too many results and your topic is a movie remake, try adding film as another search term.
• If you are finding too many results and your topic is a particular song, try adding song as another search term.

If you are having issues logging in to the USC Upstate Library databases, the South Carolina State Library provides access to Discus as a South Carolina resident.
