Journal Title Search provides you with links to the full text of all the journals owned or licensed by UAS. In addition, we link to free online journals when relevant to UAS curriculum. This tool is especially effective when you have a citation for an article in-hand. It is also helpful if you would like to browse the contents of a journal online.
Databases allow you to search for citations and full-text articles in popular magazines & scholarly journals.
Databases cover all sorts of subjects and are especially useful for current information.
Databases index information which has gone through an editorial review process.
Databases are structured and allow you to find information more precisely.
By setting limiters in databases, you can specify "scholarly journal" and "full-text".
Where can you find databases? On the library's homepage: A to Z Databases
Help! I need an article not available online.
If you find a citation for an article that is not available to you online, you have options to get that article.
1. Ask a librarian for help. Librarians are experts in finding articles for you.
2. Check our Journal Title Search - search for a journal, magazine, or newspaper to find out if the library has access.
3. Interlibrary Loan - we can order an article for you from another library - this normally takes several days to receive the article. There is no fee to UAS students for Interlibrary Loans.
Never pay for an article on a publisher's website - ask a librarian for help and you'll save both time and money.
Most scholarly journals are also considered "peer-reviewed", defined as: "[t]he process by which an academic journal passes a paper submitted for publication to independent experts for comments on its suitability and worth; refereeing." -Oxford English Dictionary.
