Finding Articles

Indexes listed below will help you locate journal articles.  Indexes without an electronic
link are in paper format and are located on the Index Tables near the Reference Desk
on the Third (Main) Floor of Cook Library.  Don't be discouraged if some articles are
not available full-text.  Check with a staff member at the reference desk - your article
may be available in print or through another database. 

Check here for ways to decide if the article you have chosen is of a popular or
scholarly nature.   Remember to use Researchport when accessing these databases off
campus!
