Finding Articles

Step 1

Begin your search for articles in our subject-specific Databases.

Step 2

Did you find a citation for an article in one of our databases but it was not offered full-text? Search for the journal in which the article is found to see if it is available full-text in another database.

Step 3

Still looking for the article you found in Step 1? Check to see if PMC has the journal title in paper format on the second floor of the library or search for the subject of a journal of interest.

Step 4

If you have completed steps 1-3 and are still looking for the article, see a librarian.
