Journal Articles

SLUth Search Plus searches about 100 library databases, including several history databases (Historical Abstracts, America: History & Life, JSTOR, and Project Muse.) and the SLU Libraries Catalog.

Why search an individual library database if it's available in SLUth Search Plus? Advanced search functionality! This is especially important for America: History & Life and Historical Abstracts.

America: History & Life and Historical Abstracts give you the option to search for journal articles ABOUT a specific historical period. This option is available on the main search screen.

  • Example Keyword Search: German and immigrants and United States
  • Historical Period: 1850-1900

Note: Your search may return articles that are about a BROADER time period than you've specified, but the articles will definitely include the historical period you're interested in.
