For finding scholarly journal articles, the databases that the library subscribes to are your best tools. Many provide full text electronic access to the articles right there. If not, they provide the complete citation so that you can track down the print article in our collection or through ILL.
All library subscription databases can be selected here:

The History page on the library databases page is a good place to start familiarizing yourself to the sources that will be more helpful to you as a history major.
Much of your work will also be interdisciplinary, so try browsing for databases in other relevant subject areas in the Databases by Academic Department section.
Content/Description: Poetry, short fiction, novels, and plays useful in the study of American history, ethnic diversity, immigrations issues, and political history.
