The University Libraries of Notre Dame pays access fees for resources such as JSTOR, Project Muse, LexisAcademic and many others. They are purchased for library users and are designed for conducting library research. The content of these materials is written by experts or authorities in their field.

If you are still unsure about which index or database to use for your research, Ask A Librarian!
