Here is the process for finding a specific article. In this example, we will look for an article in the 2023 volume of the Journal of Social Work.
1. First check the E-Journal Portal to see if SLU Libraries provide online access to the journal. Enter the journal title into the search box.
Results from the E-Journal Portal will look something like this.
2. In this case we have access to the 2023 volume of Journal of Social Work through one provider. You can click on the "SAGE Journals" link to access the article.
3. If the journal you need is not available online, your search in the E-Journal Portal will say
"No results for - [name of journal you searched]"
If this happens, check the SLU Libraries catalog to find out if the Library has the journal in print.
4. If the library has the journal you need in print, use the call number to locate the journal in the stacks.
5. Many older (pre-1999) print journals were moved to the Locust Street Library Facility (LSLF). If you need an article from one of the journals located at LSLF simply fill out an ILL form and the article will be scanned and delivered to you electronically the next day.
6. If the Library does not have access to the volume of the journal you need online or in print, then use Illiad Interlibrary loan to request the article.
