A comprehensive scholarly, multi-disciplinary, full-text database, with more than 8,500 full-text periodicals, plus indexing and abstracts for more than 12,500 journals.
Academic Search Complete is a general database provided by the vendor EBSCOhost. This database provides a lot of full text, and it is a good starting place for researching a variety of topics. The database covers both academic journals and popular magazines, books (good for finding book chapters), and newspapers.
During your time at Knox, you will notice that many databases we have are provided by the same vendor. Remember that while these databases my look similar, they each contain different content and provide slightly different search and limiting capabilities.
Academic Search Complete defaults to an advanced search, which allows you to search multiple keywords or to combine different types of search terms.
After entering your search terms, you can also choose to limit your search with various options. There are multiple limit options, including limiting to scholarly journals, a particular document or publication type, a date range, etc.
