Finding Journal Articles

You can certainly try using the free Internet to find journal articles by searching Google, Bing or Yahoo - usually through an advanced search.  However, most journal publishers expect payment to view the whole article.  

Your library has subscription databases that house hundreds of thousands of journal articles.  You have access to the entire journal article because your library pays for that acccess.

Using the library's subscription databases is the best, fastest and easiest way to find a journal article for your research.
