Finding Journals and Articles

A guide to finding journals and articles .

Find a Journal

Do you want to browse the latest issue of your favorite journal? Did your professor tell you to find articles from certain journals?  Use our Journal Finder below. Type the journal name and hit go to be directed to the database that journal is found in.  To find journals about your research interest, use the subject lists on the left margin.

Find a Specific Article

Professors may ask you to read a specific article. You may also need to find article from a reference list, or a friend may recommend that you read an article. A citation contains the specific information about the article, such as the title, author, date and journal in which the article is published. You will need the citation to find the article in library databases. The "find an article from a citation" form below will connect you to the database that has the article, or take you to MyILL to request the article.

Alternatively, you can search the article in Google Scholar. For best results, search for the FULL title in quotes (""). This can be highly effective when Google's "Library Links" are activated (see our Getting the Most out of Google guide for more details).
