How to Find Articles

How do I find journal articles on my topic?

• Use library Research Guides to find recommended starting points for your research.
• Use the Database A-Z list if you know the name of the database you want to search to locate articles. The list can also be sorted by subject.
• Ask a librarian for help locating articles for your research topic.

Help! I can't access a full text article.

• Ask a librarian for help accessing the specific article.
• If a librarian cannot find an article you need either online or in the library, you may be able to order the article through the library's Interlibrary Loan services.

How do I know if the library has access to specific journal titles?

• Use the library's "Publication Finder" when you know the name of a journal.
• Search the name of the journal to find out if library has online or print access to that publication.
