Tips for Finding Articles

Tips for Finding Articles

  • When you find a citation to an article, note the journal title, the volume number and date of the issue that you need, and the page numbers of the article.

  • Some databases list this information in a Source field.  

  • Look for a url link or a pdf for full text online access to an article.

  • Use the  button to look for other means of access.

  • If Carnegie Mellon does not own an article that you need you can request it from another library.

  • Finding articles can be challenging. Please ask for assistance as needed.
