Q. How do I find an article?

Search by Topic

• Click Research Guides (top menu)
• Select the discipline you are working in: Education, Nursing, Psychology, etc.
• Choose one of the recommended databases

Or, try a database from the How to Get Started guide

• Search the database using keywords that are relevant to your topic.
• Once you find a good article, look at the subject headings to see if they can help you refine your search.

Find full text for Specific Articles

When you have a citation to an article from a journal, newspaper or magazine, check for the full text in OneSearch by searching for the article title.  Make sure the limit "Available via Edgewood" is unchecked. 

If the full-text is not available, you will get a link that lets you request the article.  See the InterLibrary Loan section below.

If you cannot find your article, try searching or browsing the journal to double check.
