Question of the Week

Q: How do I find an article? I know the author, title, and magazine.

A: If you have a citation, but you're not sure which database to use, then try the E-Journal Portal.

1. You can search for the magazine/journal/periodical title.

2. Click on the database name.

3. A pop-up window will appear. You can now find your article by searching for the article title or keywords. I clicked on "search within this publication" to get to the search screen. The database automatically entered JN "consumer reports." I added the "cell phone" search terms.

If you're not able to find what you're looking for in the e-journal portal or have other questions, be sure to ask your librarian!
