Library Guides: Caribbean History: Find Articles

About

This section is designed to help you navigate the many databases available for locating scholarly articles. No two databases will have the same journal contents and search terms and algorithms, so it's important to test and compare more than one.

Pro tip: Can't find full-text access to the article you're looking for? Try these two steps:

Search the article or journal title in Library Search to see if TU Libraries provides full text access. If we do not, then:
Request the article through Interlibrary Loan. You'll receive a PDF scan within a few days.
