We recommend LumenPlus for most topical keyword searches for articles, books, magazines, and other published papers. LumenPlus integrates most, but not all, of the library's 260+ individual databases in one searchable interface. Periodical (e.g. journals, magazines, newspapers, conference proceedings, etc.) coverage across nearly all subjects is good in LumenPlus, but there are occasions when you will be better served searching one of the subject specialized databases as listed on the subject and course research guides.
