Section 3: Search Strategies

Locating Articles

After using an index to get an index citation, you need to locate the actual article.

The article will be in one of three formats:

  • Electronic
  • Print
  • Microform (Microfiche / Microfilm)

For Electronic:

If the database you are using has the icon, you can click on it to determine whether or not the article is available full text in a database.

For Print or Microform:

You have to find out whether or not the journal in which the article is published is owned by the library. To do this, you have to use the WRLC Libraries Catalog.
