Last Updated: Dec 02, 2024     Views: 505

To research your topic within a specific journal or publication, you will first need to locate the journal by searching for it in the Publications search box on the library homepage.

Once you've searched for the journal or publication title using the Search Title search box, click on the Full text access dropdown and select the database name listed beneath the publication. Tip: If multiple databases are listed, review the coverage dates to determine which is the best option for you. 

The exact steps to search in each database will differ, but they generally follow similar steps. 

  1. After searching for the publication title and selecting a database from the steps above, you'll be on the publications search page for your publication.
  2. Scroll down to the Search within this publication search box. 
  3. In the search box, type in the keywords related to your topic.
  4. Click Search and browse the search results.
