Library's Easy Search

Library's Journal and Article Locator

Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery
 

Step One: Finding your database

You have a research topic and now you need a relevant database to search. To do this just turn to one of the side boxes for lists of relevant databases.  Remember - if one database isn't giving you the results you want, feel free to switch to another database.

Step Two: Finding online articles

There are three ways to find online articles:

1. Directly through a database, which will provide a link to online articles through the Library's Discover Full Text (Note: it's in a blue box).
2. Through the Library's Journal and Article Locator
3. You can also search for journals (but not articles) via the Primo Library Catalog's Journal Search.

Step Three: Finding print articles

Not everything is available in electronic format. During the Covid-19 pandemic the Library will be providing scans of print articles in its collections. You can request scans via Document Delivery.

Step Four: Interlibrary Loan

If your article is not available in full-text online and it is not available in print, you can request the article through Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery. Make sure to choose "Request a photocopy" and fill out the entire form, including the source of the citation. This process typically takes 7-10 days, so plan ahead! Interlibrary Loan will most likely deliver your article as a .pdf file to your email address.
