Q. How can I find a specific journal article?

If you have the full citation for a specific journal article that you need to find:

1. Search for the title of the article in DiscoverEagle on the Library's homepage. 

DiscoverEagle searches across most of the library's collections, so this is typically the quickest way to locate a specific article within Spalding's collections. 

2. You can also search within the journal using Publication Finder. 

Search for the journal title in Publication Finder. Once you have found the journal title, expand the blue Full Text Access button under the ISSN to view the database holdings and date range. In the example below, American Journal of Occupational Therapy is available in CINAHL Complete from 1980 - present and publisher's site from 1980 - present. 

Selecting any database holdings link will direct to individual volumes and issues where the article can be found. 

3. Also try the Gale Publication Search. 

Search for the journal by title or ISSN. The example below shows a search for the journal Science (ISSN: 0036-8075). 

Once you have found the journal title, check the Full-text coverage date range to see what publication years we have access to, then skip to the corresponding date, volume, or issue to find where the article can be found.

If you only have an article title, or cannot find the journal title in Journal Finder or the Gale Publication Search: 

4. Try searching the article title in Google Scholar. 

Some articles are freely available on the web as open access or an attached PDF. If the full text is available in Google Scholar, select the PDF or HTML link to the right. 

If it's not available anywhere else: 

5. Request the article through Interlibrary Loan.
