Locate Database Articles

Many class readings will be available through the databases listed below.  

TIP: There are two main ways to search for access to a specific article (other than using the "check for full text" link within a database) - searching SPU Primo by journal title or Google Scholar by article title.  For other options to access the full-text, see Finding Full Text.

Search library resources by journal title:

1.  Search for the journal title (e.g. Journal of Applied Psychology) in from the library's home page.

SPU catalog search for Journal of Applied Psychology

2.  Locate the correct journal title from the search results and click Online Access. Verify the years available against the article's date of publication, and choose the database that encompasses that year.

View It section of journal record showing access through either Business Source Complete or PsycARTICLES

3.   "Search within this publication" by title or author.

Search Google Scholar by article title:

This option can be faster, as long as all the links work correctly.  Make sure you are either searching from on-campus or using the link above so that it links to SPU databases.

1. Copy and paste the article title into the Google Scholar search box and click search.
