Academic Search Premier

Academic Search Premier is the general purpose, multidisciplinary workhorse database for undergraduate research papers.  Academic Search Premier's indexed content is superb, it is easy to use, and there are a number of special features.

Description:  This is the place to start for undergraduate research papers that include a requirement to cite a certain number of scholarly, peer-reviewed articles. It is also an excellent launching point for more advanced papers when you are testing and comparing potential research topics.

Specifically, Academic Search™ Premier contains indexing and abstracts for more than 8,300 journals, with full text for more than 4,500 of those titles.

Academic Search Premier contains unmatched full text coverage in sciences, humanities and social sciences.

Your search results will feature the "link resolver" that connects you to a library-funded subscription to that journal or to our interlibrary loan office. Remember your service guarantee: we will endeavor to obtain all the materials you need, free of charge!

Special Features:

One of the most useful features of Academic Search Premier is the ability to sort your results by

'type of literature;'

after running a search you can click on the left navigation links to sort out the

Academic Journals, the Newspapers, the Books, etc

Good academic research and reporting requires sensitivity toward sources and the ability to winnow out the most valuable ones. Depending on your topic, the option to sort results by type of literature can be a lifesaver. 

Sort your results by type of literature:

• Academic Journals
• Magazines
• Newspapers
• Books/Monographs
