EBSCOhost

We currently subscribe to  20 databases through EBSCOhost. Some include both indexing to articles in journals and the articles themselves (Academic Search Premier, PsycARTICLES, Communication and Mass Media), others include only indexing and a brief description (PsycInfo, ERIC. MLA International Bibliography). While Academic Search Premier indexes over 8,000 journals (and full text for over 4,500) in a wide range of subject areas, other EBSCO databases are limited to health, business or education.
