How do I search the Academic Search Complete database?
Answer
Academic Search Complete is a good database to search for sources on addiction studies, disability studies, gender studies, Indigenous studies, and more.
There are academic journal articles, newspaper and magazine articles, books, reports, videos, and more in the database.
College assignments usually specify the type of resource that is acceptable to cite and reference. For example, your instructor might request that you cite and reference: "peer-reviewed publications published in the last 5 years".
With Academic Search Complete you can limit results to refine your search.
You can filter by:
- Publication date
- Source Type
There are two main options to read the full text of an article: PDF Full Text or HTML Full Text.
From the results page, click on the title of an article to see the details of the full record.

There are tools on the right to:
- Save to Google Drive
