Library FAQ - Finding Articles

How do I search for articles?

Go here for help with searching for articles.  You can also learn more about finding articles with this tutorial video.

How do I find an article if I have a citation?
Search the library catalog for the *journal title* (not the article title). This will tell you if the library subscribes to the journal in print or online.
 
 
If we do not subscribe to the journal you will see a title browse list, with the text “your entry __________ would be here”. You can place an Interlibrary Loan request for articles in journals we do not subscribe to.
 
If we do subscribe to the journal it may come in several different formats: microfiche, microfilm, current periodicals, bound periodicals and full-text online.
Can I check out a periodical?

Graduate students, faculty and staff may check out current and bound periodicals for 2 days. All other users must use the periodicals in the library (photocopiers are available).

Where are journals in Randall Library?

Bound Periodicals are located on the first floor. See the map.

Current Periodicals are located on the first floor, next to Java City. See the map.
