Library Instruction provided by Krystyna Mrozek, Interdisciplinary Programs Librarian, Block 8 2006
Many of the Tutt Library databases index only scholarly, peer reviewed journal articles but some include articles from popular magazines as well. Some of the databases provide a means of limiting your search to scholarly, peer reviewed journals, others don't.. Please review the Vodka Ad Test criteria for determining if an article is from a scholarly journal.
