Searching for Articles

Use article databases and related tools to look for articles. Article databases give citation information (i.e. author, title, journal name, date, etc.) about articles in periodicals, and may include the full-text of an article.

If you find references to journal articles that Carnegie Mellon does not own they may be requested through ILLiad (interlibrary loan) if you allow a week or more.
