Search the full-text of millions of books. Use as a "discovery" tool to find books on your topic. Books in the public domain (generally, pre-1923) are available full-text. Newer books offer limited viewing--from many pages to nothing.Note: This is just for books (and some magazines). To find scholarly articles, use Google Scholar.

A full-text archive of over 1,700 of the best scholarly journals in the social sciences, humanities, mathematics, life sciences, etc. Full-text is available from the first issue, but usually does not include the most recent 2-5 years. Note: A very small number of journals now include current content.
Search "Historical Abstracts with Full Text" and "America: History and Life with Full Text" in one search. See below for descriptions of both of these databases.
The leading resource for researching world history (excluding the United States and Canada, use: America: History & Life) from 1450 to the present. Includes: military history, women’s history, history of education, and much more. (EBSCO)
This resource from the American Antiquarian Society (AAS) provides full-image views of historic periodicals from 1684 to 1912, covering the Colonial Era through the Civil War and Reconstruction. Note that coverage past the 1880s is rather limited. See "more info" to search within a narrower time frame. (EBSCO)
OneSearch combines most of the library's resources into a single database. Rather than search databases separately, you can do just "one search." OneSearch includes articles, books, ebooks, and more. Hint: You will get a lot of results, so use the limits on the left side to focus in on what you need. (EBSCO)
Google Scholar finds scholarly articles, books, papers, etc. Note: When off-campus, using the library's link to Google Scholar will provide more full-text resources than the simple link. Look for "Full-Text @ Cal U" to access items.
Covers all aspects of the humanities, including: articles, interviews, and obituaries. Also reviews of books, ballets, dance, motion pictures, musicals, operas, plays, and much more. (EBSCO)
