A good place to find scholarly articles for a variety of disciplines.
JSTOR provides access to the highest-quality academic scholarly journals, books, images, and primary sources in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences.
As you craft your search terms, remember that there may be multiple ways Arabic or Persian words have been transliterated into English. For example there are four common ways to write Quran:
Koran | Quran | Qur'an | Qu'ran |
To get the best search results you can use OR, a Boolean Operator that will broaden searches by telling a database to return results that include any or all of the listed search terms. So, we might search for Koran OR Quran to ensure we get results with both spellings. You can also use OR to include synonyms of a word.
If you are looking for newspaper articles, in addition to looking at specific publications, you should check out these databases:
Search the most recent U.S. news content, as well as archives which stretch back into the 1980s featuring newspapers, newswires, blogs, and news sites in active full-text format.
