Article Searching Tips

  • DON'T use literal questions:  How does Eduardo Kac view genetic engineering?
  • DO use targeted terms and join them together with AND ex: eduardo kac AND genetics
  • DO go beyond the immediate information available about your artist and broaden to specific themes: ex: bio art

Also, use the tools the database provides to find specific types of articles. Use the Refine Results or similarly titled functions to limit to Academic Journals, Newspapers, Magazines and Reviews.

 

Finding Full Text

Find the full text of an article within a library database:

1. In the library database, click on the button that says Access options to see what is available, look for a PDF button/link, or similar.

2. If the library doesn't have the article in print or electronically, you will be directed to request it through ILLiad.

Find the full text of an article for which you have the citation information:

1. Click the Find Databases & eJournals button on the library homepage, and use the Search for eJournlas Titles box to check for print or online access to that journal.  Once on the journal's homepage, use the citation information, ie. volume, issues, numbers, to drill down to the needed article.

2. If the library does not have access to the journal that you need, you can order individual articles through ILLiad.
