After hitting Search, the list of articles will be displayed. You can then narrow your results by using the Refine Results menu on the left side of the page. You can limit by date, publication, suggested subjects, etc.

To view the details of an article, click on the blue article title. This will lead you to the article's detailed record page. Here you will find the abstract (or summary of the article) and subject terms. Review these to determine what the article discusses and to locate new keywords you can use for new searches. The information to help cite your article is also located on this page. If the article is available to read online, there will be a PDF or HTML Full Text link. Just click that link to view the entire article.

Should you come across an article that does not have the full text links available, check the bottom "Notes" field to see if the Library has the article on the shelf in the Library. If the "Notes" field says the Library subscribes to the publication, you will need to visit the Library to locate the article in the Periodicals collection. If the "Notes" field says that the Library does not own the journal then you might consider doing an Interlibrary Loan request for the article. Please note, however, that ILL requests can take up to five business days. To request it via Interlibrary Loan, just click the link that says Request this via Interlibrary Loan and complete the form.
