What if I'm off-campus?

Use this link instead of the search box above, and login when prompted.

The list below is a handful of the 100+ databases you have access to as a member of the Southern community. 

If you're off-campus, you'll be prompted to login. Use your campus username and password.

It's good practice to use AND between search terms (like survival and zombie apocalypse). Some databases don't require it, but omitting it will scuttle your search in a database that does.

How do I know if an article or  journal is peer-reviewed:

1. Limit a database to peer reviewed, scholarly journals, or refereed journals before beginning a search, or apply it as a limiter when you get the results of your search. You can do this in Southernsearch, any Ebsco database, and most Proquest databases.
2. Check Ulrich’s International Periodicals Directory
3. Check the submission guidelines at the journal’s official website.

If you need an article and can't access the full text through SouthernSearch, Googles Scholar, or the library databases, use interlibrary loan to request it. It's free!
