Using Find It! for Journal Articles
Searching for articles using Find it! has lots of benefits:
- Allows for searching across journals and other materials arranged around related subjects and themes.
- Quickly search for items by subject headings or descriptors to allow for more targeted results.
- Advanced search screens allow for combining multiple search terms using AND, OR, and NOT for better results
- Can often combine databases to allow keyword searching across more than one discipline
- When articles are not available full-text in the database, use to see if the article is available full-text in print or in another database
- If the full-text is not available, use to submit an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) request for the article so we can get it for you from another library
