Have a specific assignment you need to find resources for?  Need research help?  Librarians can help you and save you time:  Email me to set up an appointment; visit me during my office hours; or, consult a librarian on duty at the McPherson Library Research Help Desk.

Where is my Article?

Where is my article?

The database will tell you everything you need to know about an article (the full citation, and additional information). 

  • Often, the entire article is included in the database. Use PDF links or HTML links.
  • Sometimes you have to follow links from the database to the online article, often via our library catalogue.  Use "Available Online" links!
  • Sometimes, the article is only available in print, and you have to use the Library Catalogue to find out where the journal that holds the article is in the library.  Clicking on the call number will tell you that the journal is only available in print, and for which years.  The availability page will determine which floor, and where on that floor, to find the journal. 
  • Sometimes, you'll need to request the article via Interlibrary Loan.  Do this in the 'Available Online' screen, or via the ILL request form.
