Finding a Specific Article

Use the E-Journal Portal to locate the full text of an article when you have the citation on a syllabus or other reading list.

Search by the title of the publication in which the article was published (not the title of the article itself).
Click the link to the database that covers the publication for the date you need (many publications are available in multiple databases).
Search or browse within the publication for the specific article you need.
