Search Google Scholar to find journal articles and various unpublished scholarly documents. To link to articles found in Google Scholar from off-campus you will have to set your preferences. Watch this brief video to find out how.
By default, these databases include books and book chapters along with journal articles in their search results. Usually, you can quickly access full text for journal articles using a "find full text" button in the databases, which will direct you either to a copy of the article or to Interlibrary Loan if the article is not available through our library. If there is no "find full text" button, try looking up the journal name in our Journals A to Z list (usually most reliable) or search for the article title in Google Scholar (easiest).
Books, however, cannot be found this way. You must look up books in OneSearch. But be careful-- your database result might be for a chapter within a book, with its own title and author. You should be searching for the book as a whole. If the book is not in our catalog, you can most likely find it on Worldcat (which searches thousands of libraries worldwide) and request it through Interlibrary Loan that way.
