You can find peer-reviewed and other types of articles in our catalog, as well as in subject-specific databases. See below for information and links to our catalog, to databases, and to other online resources. It's important to consider if you are looking for a scholarly article, a news article from a newspaper, or other (for example, a white paper created by a non-profit or governmental organization).
You can search the Clemson Libraries Catalog to find articles. The catalog searches almost all of the databases and online journals that we subscribe to. Sometimes it is helpful to do a broad search. If you are searching for peer-reviewed or scholarly articles, make sure to use the filter on the left-hand side of the screen and look for the purple icons in the results.
