Research Guides: JMC-Entreprenuership Graduate Toolkit: Finding Journals

Journal and Article Search

Finding an article is complicated. We have subscriptions to over 75,000 journals and resources, all of which are changing in real-time. This section will walk you through basic steps to finding an article. If you still cannot find a specific article, please contact me and I will be happy to research the citation and gain the article if possible.

Start finding journals using the Journal Search function on the library home page. Check to see if the journal is available in print, electronically online or in some combination of print or online.

If we have the journal in print you can request a digital copy of the article from Library Express Delivery (LEDS).
