English 102 Composition II / Research

Library research databases are the best places to do in-depth research.

You can look for full-text online articles from newspapers, journals, academic and popular sources. You can also locate peer-reviewed sources.

These sources are reliable, stable, and searchable with keywords, phrases, or subject areas. They provide citations, a variety of search filters, and other helpful tools.
