Article Databases
Should I search more than one database? Depending upon what you're looking for, YES. Although there's overlap, all publications aren't in every database, e.g. Harvard Business Review is in Business Source & Sloan Managment Review is in ABI/Inform. If you don't want to miss something, search more than one.
