Not Finding It?
If we do not have what you are looking for, try making an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) request! ILL is a free service that lets currently enrolled ULM students, faculty, and staff borrow materials from other libraries. You can request journal articles, books, conference papers and more! Visit ILL to learn more.
While Google Scholar may not be the only place you go for your research needs, it can be a great resource when browsing your topic or looking for a specific article!
There are multiple ways you can find articles.
Search EBSCO Discovery to search most of ULM's databases simultaneously. There are multiple ways to use EBSCO Discovery: find the closest EBSCO Discovery search box in this research guide, visit the ULM Library website, or check out the A to Z database list. You can find many resources searching this way that you may have missed if you had only used a single database, but make sure to apply filters to your search to narrow your results or you might end up with a very long, overwhelming list!
Search databases individually to focus your search to a specific subject area. You can select recommended databases from the list below or visit the A to Z Database list to discover more. The downside of this method is that because individual databases have a targeted focus, you may miss some unique perspectives that other databases may have to offer.

You can access EBSCO Discovery in three ways:
