Women's and Gender Studies

This page links to library databases you can search to find scholarly articles, as well as other types of information. Depending on the database you choose, you can find articles on gender and sexuality across multiple subjects, or within a specific subject.

If you don't see a Full Text link below the article citation, look for a button labeled "Get it!" This application will check for access to the full text of the article within the library's subscriptions.

If a message is displayed indicating that we don't have access, choose the Campbell Library Interlibrary Loan Request link to order the article from another library.

These databases include secondary sources such as journal articles and book chapters. For primary sources, use the Find Primary Sources page of this guide.
