Each database will give you a list of articles that match your search terms. The list will almost always include the citation information to the article. Other times an abstract or the full text of the article will be included.

	Citation Author, article title, periodical title, date of the publication, volume and issue of the publication, and the page numbers of the article.
	Abstract Summarizes the article's content. Read this first. It will quickly show whether the article is useful.
	Full text Sometimes the database will link to the complete text of the article. If it doesn't, don't give up! There are other ways to find the full text.
