Thing #20: Find current information about your topic

Use the library databases to search the periodical literature on your topic.

Types of articles you might look for include:
- Scholarly articles (from academic journals)
- Current newspaper articles
- Articles from popular magazines or trade publications

Databases to consider (Access all from the A-Z List):
- Academic Search Premier
- Proquest Newspapers
- Lexis-Nexis
- Political Science Abstracts

Find 2 articles and provide complete APA citations. Post your citations with a brief statement (one or two sentences is fine) about why the article is a good source for your project.
