McGrath Tutorial on Finding Specific Articles by Journal Title

Finding a Specific Article

OCCASIONALLY, YOU HAVE THE ARTICLE INFORMATION BUT NOT THE FULL TEXT VERSION OF THE ARTICLE.

McGrath Library has a tool hosted by EBSCO that allows you to search all of the McGrath Databases to see if the article appears in Full-Text!

Searches are conducted by using the Journal Title, NOT the title of the Article.

Go to the Library Homepage
Click on Databases OR Scholarly Articles & Journals and Click on: FIND FULL TEXT JOURNALS or Click on the Link Below Entitled: Full Text Publication Finder
Enter the Journal Title
Click the Appropriate Database Where the Journal Appears in Full Text
Click Appropriate Year of Publication, Volume, and Issue
Scroll to Find Article Title

Full Text Finder [EBSCO]
This is EBSCO's "classic" full-text finder. It works similarly to the publication finder

This is not a traditional database, but a tool to locate full-text articles by searching the name of the publication that they are published in.

Search by the title of the Journal or ebook you are looking for.
