OPTION A: From the library homepage choose Articles, Books, and More in the drop-down list.
(Remember, sign in for best and easiest access to content we own.)
OPTION B: Start directly from library catalog, choose Articles tab.
2. Under Resource Type, narrow down to "Articles."
3. If you see the green dot, click on Availability and Request Options and select the resource link that covers the date of the article's citation.
Here's the article!

6. If the article is NOT AVAILABLE, click on the "ILLIAD - Interlibrary Loan Request" link.
NOTE: Articles will be delivered within 2-5 business days, other materials will be delivered usually within 10-15 business days.

Google Scholar (scholar.google.com) searches items that fall under academic resources - book reviews, articles, studies, and more.
On-campus Google Scholar searching for articles:
1. Use the search box (in this guide or go to scholar.google.com)
2. Once the results appear, use the left-hand facets to narrow the results. Also note, items that are available display "[PDF} from ..."
These are items you can access immediately!
3. In this example, you want to see the item: "Geoducks (Panopea abrupta) as isotopic bioarchives of seasonality in the climate of British Columbia."
Click on [PDF] from ebscohost.com and it takes you right to the document!
