Article resources for entrepreneurship

Suggested databases to use for locating articles about Silicon Valley, start up companies, and entrepreneurs. 

If you need to pursue a citation search due to low numbers of article found, you will want to use SearchWorks to locate either the Scopus or Web of Science databases.  Those are more complicated to use.  If you decide to try them and they are not working for you, let a librarian know.  We can work together to find you additional sources.
