Databases to Search

The databases below (as available at Auburn) cover a few of our common sources.

But search the following journals separately:

• Kairos* (1996-present)
• Programmatic Perspectives* (2009-present)
• Journal of Usability Studies* (JUS) (2005-present)
• Interactions* (1994-present)
• Communication Design Quarterly (2013-present)

Other databases can also hold some of these journals; if you need a cleaner copy of an article than one you find in a database listed below, pull up the journal entry in the catalog and search another database.
