To find useful articles in journals, magazines and newspapers you need to use the library's online resources. You might locate a few articles using Google, but the only way to find all the articles you need is to use the resources below, which let you search thousands of publications for articles and typically provide them in full text. And if you need an article that's not available in full text, you can request a free copy of it through Interlibrary Loan. |

| FAQs about Finding Articles | |
|
An article I need is not available in full text on our databases--how do I get a copy of it? You can order a free copy of it through Interlibrary Loan. Just fill out this request form (you can cut & paste the information to save time and ensure accuracy). Most articles will arrive in a few days, and the librarian will email you as soon as we receive it. My professor wants me to find articles from 'peer-reviewed' journals--what does that mean? Peer-reviewed (also called 'scholarly') journals are published by people who are experts in their field. These journals are the basic way scholars share knowledge and ideas within their disciplines. The articles in these journals are written by scholars and reviewed by other scholars (their 'peers') for accuracy and relevance. Academic Onefile and other online services allow you to limit your searches to peer-reviewed publications. How do I cite an article in footnotes or bibliographies? Check the links on the Citations page for help with this, and for more help ask the librarian (440-375-7403). Why can't I find articles on my topic on Academic OneFile (or any other online service)? The Library's online services aren't set up to ‘guess' what you are looking for the way Google does. You have to use terms that are appropriate for your topic and the names and spelling have to be accurate for these services to work for you. Here are some tips for better online searching:
