1. Search for a copy:
Search for the article using whatever information you have available.
If that doesn't work, enter the specific citation information to find out if the full text is available.
Search for the journal title to see if the library has a subscription to the journal. You can then locate the specific volume and issue to find the article.
2. If the article is not available online:
