How and where to find articles using the Library website.

Welcome

This guide will give you instructions on how to use different ways to search for articles through the University Library, as well as how to find and request articles from other universities.

There are two main ways to search for articles through the University Library:

  1. Try our new Library Search from the home page!
  2. Easy Search - Searches the Library catalog, I-Share, dictionaries and encyclopedias, and other databases to find books, journal articles, newspaper articles, and more.

Starting Your Search

  • The Teaching, Learning, and Academic Support unit has an introductory guide on finding articles by subject.
  • If you aren't sure where to start, using a database that covers a breadth of subjects, such as Academic Search Ultimate, is a great way to start to get a basic idea of what types of articles you are looking for.
  • If you are looking for articles in a particular academic discipline, many of the University Library's departmental libraries have subject guides with recommended databases.
  • If you need help finding an article, or anything else, Ask A Librarian!
