There are several ways to find articles. If you're new to research or you want to run a general search, we recommend using the NEIU Libraries Search Bar. The Library Search bar is a great way to see what's out there on a topic or to see if we have a specific article. Click here for instructions on using the Library Search Bar.
If you want to do more in-depth research in an area, our librarians recommend searching in a subject-specific database. Academic Databases are searchable, online collections of scholarly research sources like journal articles, conference papers, theses, etc. They are useful for more focused or developed research projects.
