Finding Journal Articles

Finding articles in Library Search

Use Library Search to find journal articles across multiple library databases. This search only retrieves full-text articles and is a good starting point for your research because it searches more than database at once. If you want to do a more comprehensive search, which would include full-text articles and articles you can request the full text of through Interlibrary Loan, you can search in any of the recommended databases below.
