Find Articles > How to find an Article 1. Search a database. A database is a tool used to look for articles relevant to your research. A database search will always provide citations (the source of the article), though only some search results will include abstracts (brief descriptions of the article's content), and/or full-text (the article in its entirety). Articles in full-text can be printed directly from the database. Using a database can be pretty confusing because there are so many ways to tailor your search. The following guide does a great job of explaining the different search modifiers, such as the "and/or/not" of boolean searches, truncated searches, wildcards, etc. A Primer on Databases and Catalogs, created by the University System of Georgia Lemieux Library subscribes to a variety of online databases, many of which are dedicated to a specific subject. We also provide links to databases that are full-text only. View an alphabetical list of our databases, or browse the databases by subject. Use of Lemieux Library's electronic resources is subject to U.S. Copyright Law. Excessive downloading, printing, and/or electronic dissemination of resource content by the user is prohibited. Access and use is restricted by license agreements to purposes of research, teaching, and private study by current SU faculty, staff, and students; all commercial use is strictly prohibited. Restrictions on other uses may apply. Fair use guidelines are specifically applicable to use of information in a University setting. For additional information please refer to the "University Copyright Policy & Guidelines" and the "Lemieux Library's Copyright Statement." 2. Not in full-text? If you have found an item that looks interesting but it is not available full-text from the database you are searching, write down the citation and you can look to see if we subscribe to the source periodical. Some databases will let you know if we do, but if not click on Find Journals & More to search our periodical lists. 3. Not in Lemieux? Try Interlibrary Loan. Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a cooperative service in which materials are made available by one library to another for the use of its patrons. Requests may be submitted by Seattle University students, faculty, administrators and staff for articles which are not in our collection and which are needed for research, term papers and scholarly reading. ILL involves submitting a form that includes your contact information so we can notify you when the article arrives.
