Find Journal Articles

STEP 1:
A. To find articles on a topic, look in a print index or use the electronic article databases, for example, EBSCOhost, InfoTrac, PsycINFO, etc. These databases can be found on the site of . Most of these databases will guide you to pertinent articles, and many will even provide you with the full-text of an article.

B. To find articles published in a specific journal, search electronic journal list first to determine if Marywood's Library provides access to the full-text of the journal, and to identify the online database that offers access to the full-text journal online.

STEP 2:
If the full text of the article is not online, you need to locate the periodical that the article is in. Check the Marywood University library's on-line catalog to see if our library owns the journal title and issue you are looking for. For best results you may perform a Periodical Title search.

STEP 3:
The print journals are located on the 1st floor of the LRC Building. Please consult Serials staff if you have trouble locating an item or using a reader-printer machine.

STEP 4:
You may request Interlibrary Loan (Articles), if we do not subscribe to the periodical you need.
