Academic journal articles are available through the Quick Search interface and our databases. While you will often retrieve higher quality results by searching an appropriate database directly, Quick Search is a good place to get started.

To search Quick Search, type only the most important keywords that describe your topic into the main search bar on the main library webpage. Results from across our collections and in diverse formats (books, articles, videos) will appear. Then, on the left-hand side, select "Article" under the "Format" heading.

To search a database directly, choose an appropriate database from the Database A-Z List on the main library page or browse the recommended databases on the research guide for your program.

Remember that you can always ask the library via chat, email, or appointment if you aren't having any luck finding the articles you need!
