2.3 Searching a General Periodical Database

The InfoTrac OneFile periodical database is considered a general information source because it indexes a wide range of general interest magazines, but it also includes a healthy selection of scholarly journals in many academic areas. Many of the citations include links to the full-text of the articles, a very popular feature! Other citations include abstracts (summaries) of the articles.
