  3. If you cannot locate the article, Ask a Librarian!

Articles & Full text

Search a number of databases at one time by going to the Articles & Full Text link on the library homepage, or go into individual databases for your searches.


library home page with links to the Catalog, Articles & Full Text, Databases, e-Journals, Images

Articles & Full Text searches articles, ebooks, audio files, and video files. It does not search the library catalog (print books and other physical items).

Use the Library Catalog for print books. Also, this system doesn't search all library resources. For comprehensive, or focused searching, go to the Databases link to find subject-specific databases.
