All databases are based on the same principles, so learning to
use one database will teach you skills that you can apply to others.
A good database to start with is Academic Search Premier. Academic Search Premier lists articles (many in full-text!) from numerous sources on a wide
variety of topics. Because it is a general database, it includes
articles that are written at a level appropriate for beginning college
students.
