Database of the Month: Academic Search Complete

The Database of the Month for September is Academic Search Complete.  Provided by EBSCO, Academic Search Complete (ASC), is a wonderful multi-disciplinary database that features a large variety of academic and popular articles - many of which are available in full text.

According to EBSCO, ASC contains:
  • More than 13,800 indexed and abstracted journals
  • More than 9,000 full-text journals
  • Full text for more than 7,800 peer-reviewed journals
  • PDF content dating back as far as 1887
  • Searchable cited references provided for more than 1,400 journals
At Monmouth College, we recommend Academic Search Complete for students just getting started with their research and those wishing to make a complete review of the literature on their topic.  Recognizable to some already, we regularly use this database with all of our first year students since the interface is very user friendly and it contains a wide array of sources - including media items.

Find Academic Search Complete on the library's Databases: Find Articles page.

Access to library databases is limited to the current students, staff, and faculty of Monmouth College.
