-
Use Google or another search engine.
-
Search the library catalog.

Search the library databases.
Correct Answer
A. Search the library databases.Explanation
Searching the library databases is the best method to find scholarly articles because these databases are specifically designed to provide access to academic and scholarly resources. Unlike search engines or library catalogs, library databases contain a wide range of peer-reviewed articles, journals, and other scholarly materials that may not be easily accessible through other means. These databases often offer advanced search options, subject-specific filters, and citation information, making it easier for researchers to find relevant and reliable sources for their academic work.Rate this question:
