VCSU Library: How to Find Journal Articles
Journal (periodical, magazine) articles can be found in several ways on the website.

If you know the title of the journal, use the JAKE search engine below to type in the name. The results will tell you which databases contain the journal in fulltext. Then, come back to this page and click on the database (listed below right) that contains the journal.

If you want to search the journal databases by subject, type keywords or subject headings describing your topic into the search box at the selected database. Consult the database help screens if you are unfamiliar with the database features. The search will yield "records" which minimally consist of a citation, but may also contain an abstract or fulltext online if available. Print, email or download the records of articles you are interested in by following the on-screen instructions.

If you find a citation, but not the entire article, you can determine whether the VCSU library owns the journal you need. You can do this by clicking the alphabetical list of journals held by VCSU and then on the first letter of the journal name (disregard articles a, an and the).

If you cannot find the journal listed, consult a librarian who will help you borrow the article via interlibrary loan.
