Journals from disciplines outside of law (e.g. Sociology, Business, Political Studies, etc.) sometimes publish articles on topics that have legal aspects. To locate articles pertaining to your topic that have come from other disciplines, you would need to move beyond law-specific indexes and databases. Here are some tips for finding journal articles from other disciplines.
Start with an Omni search (see Omni Search Tips). Omni provides access to journal articles and other resources (books, videos, documents, etc.) across all academic disciplines. In addition, Omni provides access to high-quality resources from over 15 other Ontario university libraries, thereby helping you to discover additional resources outside of Queen’s.
For a more targeted search of articles from a specific discipline, you should consult journal indexes and databases from that discipline. To locate discipline-specific indexes and databases, go to the Queen's Library Homepage and select 'Research by Subject' in the Quick Links menu. Then, select the desired subject.
This takes you to a subject landing page that contains links to guides, databases and journals for that subject area. Under "Guides", there should be a general guide for the subject area, e.g. Business.
Look for a heading that says "Articles" or "Journals" in the subject guide. This should contain specific information about key journal databases and indexes for the discipline.
