Typically, when searching for journal content, you would follow one of the paths below:
1. Searching by TOPIC
Begin by using Discovery Search

Results will need to be narrowed down by Trevecca's library, peer-reviewed, date range, or other factors to see a list of relevant articles.
View the short tutorial below to understand the Discovery search.
It is important to realize that all Trevecca library databases are NOT included in Discovery Search results. You should use the A to Z Databases page; to find other resources in your field.
