Search Tips

While some databases include the full text of articles, others only provide citations. Citations may include a link to the full text which will take you to the complete article. For help getting an article, follow these steps:

• Check if the library has a subscription to the journal through the Journal Finder
• Download the browser extension Lean Library to be notified if the library has full-text access  
• Search Google Scholar
• Request a copy of the article from Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
• Ask a librarian for help

When you need help with library terms consult the Multilingual Glossary for Today's Library Users. 

• Language Table includes terms in seven languages. 
• Definitions includes explanations for each term.
