When you are looking for access to the full-text of a specific journal, magazine, or newspaper, you'll use the Journals Search. This search will get you into the correct database with access to that publication, which you can then search using a specific article title or with keywords.

Remember the Journals Search is for searching for a specific publication, not a specific article.  You'll search for a specific article once you get into the correct database of that publication.

In this example, we'll use the journal Nursing 

1. Select  the "Journals A-Z" icon below the main search box on the library homepage. Type the name of the journal, magazine, or newspaper into the search box and hit the search button. 

2. If we have that publication available for full-text, it will appear along with the database(s) that provide the full-text and for what time period of coverage.  Select the database that includes the dates you need for your research. In some cases we may only have the article in print or have limited dates of coverage.

3. Click on the name of the database to access that specific publication within it. You can either browse for a specific issue looking up the date/volume/issue, or you can click the link "Search within this Publication" to search within that specific publication.
