I already have info about an article (the citation). Does the library have the article?

  1. Go to the Article Locator.
  2. Enter the Journal Title and article details such as publication year and volume number. (Not necessary to fill out entire form.)
  3. The Find it! search result screen will indicate if the full text of article is available online or in print.

The online full text link may go directly to article or instead to a page that includes a list of issues or volumes.

If UNI does not have the journal, the Find it! screen usually includes a link to Interlibrary Loan, a service for requesting articles from other libraries. If the link doesn't appear, go directly to Interlibrary Loan.

Google Scholar also can be an effective tool for finding the full text of a known article.
