Water in the Humanities in Three Days or Less

Step Four: Entering Database Land

With my list of books and notes, I am now prepared to enter the databases.

In the databases, you can use refined keywords (i.e. baptism, instead of church history) to find what you need.

In a crunch, focus of full-text and mostly full-text humanities and general indexes:

  • JSTOR
  • Ebscohost
  • Proquest
  • H.W. Wilson

I didn't get much, because a lot of the types of articles I need will not be online, because of how the database land works. I did, however, get enough to write my paper.
