Scholarly Chapters and Reports Databases
SAU Library also has databases with books chapters, reports, and other high-quality sources. Though these items are not peer-reviewed articles, they are scholarly sources in the sense that they are reputably authored, thoroughly referenced, and are frequently used by scholars themselves.
