We have two primary options for finding periodical (magazine and journal) articles online. You may want to use both.

EBSCOhost

InfoTrac

After you have looked at these, you will realize that

• they both have search boxes,

• they both return results as lists of articles,

• they both have their own print commands to make best use of paper and ink, and

• they both give you an MLA citation!

If you recognize that, then you'll be able to figure out just about any database that you use.
