Articles

Articles & Books searches much of the library's content in a single search. It's a great place to start!

Search settings can be changed on the results page.
To limit to just scholarly articles, select Scholarly & Peer-Review in the upper left of search results.
Articles & Books Search Tips will help to get you started.

If the library doesn't have an article you want, request it via Interlibrary Loan. We'll get it for you, often in just a day or two. (Learn more about UR Interlibrary Loan in this YouTube video.)

Databases

PubMed
Identifies articles in clinical and basic biomedical research as well as in psychology, many with links to full text.

Includes recent published articles, and articles from selectively indexed journals that do not appear in Medline. Includes access to molecular and bioinformatic databases from the NCBI system (previous Entrez). Automatically expands (explodes) subject headings. Truncation turns off this automatic expansion of the hierarchical subject headings.
Web of Science
Identifies journal articles and cited references to research publications from all disciplines, some with links to full text.

Comprised of three databases that can be searched separately or in combination: Arts & Humanities Citation Index (1975-current), Science Citation Index Expanded (1973-current), Social Sciences Citation Index (1973-current).
