A database is an organized collection of information, data, or citations stored in electronic format. You can use the databases below to search for foreign language resources (newspaper, journal, magazine articles). Hover over the database title to see a description of what each database offers. Since each database includes a different set of journals, magazines, newspapers, and other resources, searching more than one database can help you to find additional information. If you need more help, Ask A Librarian.
