Additional useful databases

In addition to OneSearch and ProQuest One Academic, you may find these databases useful for your EN 115 research.

You might do an activity in class to explore, compare & contrast, or try to "break" these databases in order to learn their ins and outs. Every database has similar options (filtering, free accounts, and advanced search), but many also have neat unique features related to the kind of content they are providing.
