How to Find Articles

How and where to find articles using the Library website.

Easy Search

The quickest strategy to start with is to type the article title into the "Easy Search" box on the University Library's homepage. Easy Search searches across multiple databases the Library subscribes to. You can copy-paste the article's title, but be wary of inputting too much information that might cause the search to leave out the article. If the article you are searching for does not come up in the search results, try using the Online Journals and Databases tool.

  1. Begin at the University Library's homepage. Type the title into the Easy Search bar. Optionally, you can select the subject of the article in the dropdown menu next to the search box.

  3. Further down the page, you can find results for specific databases. That is a good place to check if you do not immediately see the correct article. You will find article record links and full text links in the same format.
