Steps for finding articles

1. Search for articles in any of the Library's online databases or indexes.
2. The article may be full text in the database. Click on the link to view the article. If not full text, go to step three.
3. Click on links to search the library catalog or full text. If these links are not available, search for the article using the journal name provided in the citation.
4. The citation includes:

   article title	periodical title (journal title)	author (s)
   date of publication	volume(v) and issue numbers(n)	page numbers of the article

See our online tutorial for a specific example.
