+Multi-subject Databases
There are many, many different search engines that SU Libraries has a paid subscription with that are great places for you to search. However, given the focus of this assignment, the search engines (aka 'databases') below are the best places for you to start with.
One of the better thing about the search engines that we subscribe to is that they have lots of advanced capabilities, like filtering your search results to *only* show you primary, peer-reviewed journal articles as results. These filtering options are frequently shown on the left side of your search results screen - look for clickable descriptions such as 'research article' or 'scientific article' as clues that you are on the right track!
