How do I Find Journal Articles?

There are several different approaches to finding journal articles, depending on your starting point.

1. If you are looking for a known item (you know the author, article title, journal title, date, volume, etc.):

  • Try Articles Plus. For instance, search for the title of the journal and click the "Find It" button to get access.
  • Search the Library Catalog for the journal title and use the "Find It" button

2. If you are exploring a topic, use an article index such as ATLA Religion Database. This approach is more comprehensive than going to JSTOR.

3. If you are looking for a particular journal online, search the Library's e-journal index.

Resources for Finding Articles

When searching databases, the Find It button, when present, can be used to locate an item in the Library Catalog, to gain access to the full-text of an article, or to send interlibrary loan orders to the ILL Office for items that the Library does not own.

Online Journal Collections

Here are some collections of online journals, but if you're exploring a topic or a specific biblical passage, I suggest using a journal article index such as ATLA Religion Database, Old Testament Abstracts, or RAMBI.
