Journal Articles

You can get a copy of it from another library through interlibrary loan. See our interlibrary loan page for information, or go directly to the form.

First find out if the library has the journal by typing the journal name in the search box on the library homepage and selecting the Journal Titles tab. If your journal is available online, you will be given a link to the database(s) where it can be found. If you find an article without the full text while searching in a database you can try requesting that article via Inter Library Loan or reach out to a Librarian for more assistance.

Most databases have the option to limit to peer-reviewed journal articles. When you search for articles in a database, remember to check the box that says “Peer Reviewed”. 

For a description of what a peer-reviewed/scholarly article is please visit the links below or ask a librarian for help.

What's Peer-Reviewed?

Start by searching a general database such as Academic Search Complete, or select one from our recommended databases for your subject area. If you're still unsure, don't hesitate to ask a Librarian.
