PHY 2053C: Introductory Physics: Journal Articles

What are databases?

The Library databases listed here are collections of journal articles searchable by author, title, keywords, subject indexing terms, and sometimes every word in the articles. They may contain or link to the full text of the articles, or they may contain abstracts of the articles.

Journal articles can be useful sources of information for almost any subject area. They contain current information or research, and are usually written on specific aspects of a topic.

Use research databases to search for articles on a specific topic. Databases can be accessed from off campus by current FSCJ students and employees. For instructions on remote access to our databases please see the "Login Information" tab on this guide.
