Articles

To find articles in journals, magazines or newspapers, you will need to search a periodical index or database. Some databases provide access to the complete article. Other databases will provide a citation to the journal, newspaper or magazine. If the article is not available full-text, write down the citation and search for the title in our Serials List, If you can't find a journal you are looking for in our serials lists, request the article from InterLibrary Loan.
