Finding Articles

Articles in journals (and essays in books) are smaller, usually more in-depth studies of a particular aspect of a topic.

Strategies for finding articles:

Start with your keywords, or an article you found in a bibliography:

e.g., congregation* communit* faith

Do another search using relevant SUBJECT HEADINGS that you noted in the search above

e.g., FAITH DEVELOPMENT ; CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES

Search by a combination of subject headings or subject keywords and regular keywords

e.g., SPIRITUAL | formation | congregation*
