Finding Articles on Specific Topics

 

 

When searching for articles, begin with a subject search within article databases. These databases can be searched from workstations located on the main floor, 4th floor computer lab, and most can be also be accessed off-campus via the Library website's Databases page.

When searching in an article database, print any appropriate full-text articles you find as well as the citations to articles that are not in full-text.

Also, use the Periodical List webpage to determine if the Library owns the periodical you need. This online and searchable list provides call numbers to bound & microform subscriptions as well as links to electronic subscriptions.

Finally, go to the 3rd floor and use the call numbers to locate the bound or microform periodicals you require.

Assistance with using article databases is available at the main floor (2nd floor) Reference Desk or use the Ask a Librarian service.
