To find articles published in journals, magazines, newspapers or other periodicals, use the library's online databases.
Use these databases as tools to find definitions or get introductory information on a topic. You would not include them on your Works Cited.
To login to LPC Library databases from off-campus, enter your LPC W# and ClassWeb PIN.
Tips:
W# (Be sure to include the letter W.)
6 Digit PIN (Your library password is the SAME as your ClassWeb PIN; if you change your ClassWeb PIN that will also change your library password.)
