Q:Can't I find these articles on the web with a Yahoo or Google search?
Answer. It is possible that you could find the articles, but not very likely. Most of what is found on these databases is not available for free. The library buys a license for these databases so students and faculty can access them.

Q: What is the difference between a journal and a magazine?
Answer. "Journal" is library shorthand for "Scholarly Journal". An article in a scholarly journal represents the research that scholar has undertaken. An article in a magazine isn't usually written by a scholar and may or may not represent original research.
