Finding Copies of Articles

If the database you are using doesn't provide direct full-text access for an article, remember to first take the 2 steps below IN SEQUENCE to search for a copy in the Case Libraries system.

Step 1: If available, click the "Access Now" icon associated with the database result record of interest

to see if our system can automatically locate access to the article through one of our resources.

Step 2:

CWRU eJournal Portal
Search the CWRU eJournal Portal using the TITLE of the JOURNAL to see if we have an electronic or print copy available.

If these first two steps don't provide a way to get a copy of the article, see the box below for information on our inter-library loan (ILL) service.
