Finding Articles
Use the list of specialized databases on this page to locate articles relevant to your topic.
Begin with a keyword search using relevant terms from your research topic. Most of the article you locate will be in full-text HTML or PDF format. If the article you want is not available in full-text via these databases, search the title of the journal (not the article title) in the UA Library Catalog to see if the library has a print or electronic subscription. If the journal is not available in the library, you may request the article through our Interlibrary Loan system (ILL) called ILLiad.
You may find assistance with all of the above at the User Support Services desk on the first floor of Bierce Library. Phone: 330-972-8161
