Database Guides:

Most of the Library's online databases are designed to help locate periodical (journal, magazine and newspaper) article citations, however, some also help find statistics, book chapters, dissertations, curriculum guides and other materials. For articles that are cited but not located in the same database, there will usually be a Find It button, which is used to determine whether the article can be found elsewhere online or in print. If Find It is not available, use the Citation Linker to locate articles and the Andersen Library Catalog to locate books. Need to know How to Use Find It & Citation Linker? Note: When looking for older articles, it may be necessary to use a print index.

If you are having problems accessing from off-campus, take a look at the Troubleshooting Guide.

Unless otherwise noted, these guides are for databases and larger database systems that are primarily used to find articles.
