Many students come to us for term paper help. The St. Louis County Library has amazing databases that greatly simplify research tasks. For example, Academic OneFile provides academic and news articles, news video from NBC News, and audio recordings from NPR (including transcripts).
For example, assume that someone is researching nuclear accidents. They will start at www.slcl.org, then select the Research tab, then databases A-Z on the left hand side and choose Academic OneFile, the first database under the letter A. Within this database, after logging in with library card number and name, a customer can enter "nuclear accidents" as the subject. The results can further limited to full text.
The results? 145 academic articles, 156 magazine articles, 48 videos and 73 audio clips. The results feature magazines such as The Economist, Earth Island Journal, and The Science Teacher. Best of all, the reader can click on "citation tools" in the top right corner and select APA 6th Ed. or MLA 7th Ed as the citation format. This makes it very easy to cite the article in a term paper.
