From Citations to Articles

Don't Give Up!

Many articles cited in a library database or in resources like PubMed and Google Scholar are available through Ryan Library, even if you can't link to them directly.

How to search for full text:

Use the Journals Directory (opens in a new tab)to search for the title of the journal in which the article was published; it will list any database with complete articles from that journal.
Use WorldCat(opens in a new tab), the library's catalog, to search for the title of the journal; it will indicate whether our library has hard copies of the journal.
Use PLNU's interlibrary loan service (opens in a new tab)to place a request for articles not available through the library.
