Finding a Journal Article

If you have a citation to an article or your instructor has told you to look in a particular journal, you have several different options to find the article. Most of the journals that the DiPietro Library subscribes to are available in our databases.

To search for a journal or article:

search by journal or article title using JournalFinder to see if the article/journal you are looking for is available in full-text in one of our databases;
search our catalog to see if it is available in paper (paper journals are shelved in title order on the lower level);
if it is not available in the DiPietro Library you can submit an Interlibrary Loan request via RavenRequest;
if you would like help finding the article contact a Reference Librarian for further assistance.
