The CCSF Library provides free access to newspaper, magazine and journal article databases.
Use these databases for specialized and the most up-to-date information, especially academic (scholarly) sources that are not available for free on the Web. See the A-Z Databases list page for a full list of databases available.
Databases are searchable containers of books, magazines, journals, and images (but not webpages, which you search on the open web). Databases are owned by a few different companies, and the library pays for access to make relevant sources available for your research. The sources in the databases are rarely available for free on the open web.
When looking for articles related to Photography, whether history, criticism, or technique, we recommend the following options:
San Francisco Public Library offers access to JSTOR, a database with full text, scholarly articles, and to Art Full Text, a database with 
full text magazine and scholarly articles about art and photography. You will need a San Francisco Public Library card and your pin number for the card to access these databases. Go to JSTOR or Art Full Text enter your barcode number and pin.
Digital searching can work well when you combine your search words with "Boolean" connectors.
| Boolean Connector | What does it do? |

| AND |

| OR |
