Summon is one way of locating journal articles for your assignments, but you are also able to search subject specific databases.

The 'Databases' tab on the Library homepage lists subject specific databases - use the 'Browse by Subject' option to find databases for your subject area.

From the dropdown menu, you can select specific subjects such as Education or Sociology. This will take you to a page of databases relevant for this particular subject area.

Subject guides also recommend relevant databases for your subject area. Look under the Journal Articles tab to find them.
