Catalog: Journals & Articles

Find an article at Adler

How do I find full text of an article?

1. On the library homepage or in the library Catalog, click Article or Everything at Adler to search.

2. You can search by keyword, or by the title of the article.

NOTE: If you want to search for all articles on a particular topic, use a database, not the catalog. 

Find an article: concepts

Many journals publish a new issue several times a year.

  • Each year is a new volume.
  • Each new publication is a specific issue within a volume.

You know this by looking at a citation, which will give the volume, issue, and year. For example:

Sperry, L. & Carlson, J. (2012). Continuing Our Global Look at Individual Psychology. Journal of Individual Psychology, 68(4), 309.

  • Year: 2012 corresponds to the volume 68
  • Issue number is 4.

In a physical library, you could find a print journal issue in the stacks, arranged in order of year (volume) and then issues. It's the same concept online!

Find an article with the article title

1. Search from the search box on Library Homepage. 

2. Click Articles in the top banner. Type the title of the article. If the article contains many common words, consider using quotation marks around the title for the most relevant results.

3. Find how to access the article.

  • "Available Online": indicates it's online. Click that button & see remaining steps.
    • Then choose how to access it online.

 

 

  • "No Online Access": We do not have access to this article.
    • Click through to submit an ILLiad request to access the article.

  • "Check holdings": indicates it's available in print at the library.

  3. Find results that look relevant to your topic. If your search brings up too many results, consider using filters to narrow your search results. You can choose to view only peer-reviewed articles, or choose specific resource types (ie. dissertation, trade publications, academic articles, etc.)

3. In this case, click "See all versions" to find the one with the correct year range. Not all journals will have this options & might go straight to step 4.

 Click "Available Online".

4. On the next page, find where it states "View Online". Click the hyperlink to go to the journal. Note that each hyperlink might have a different name. There might even be multiple options. The only thing to note is a year range in the hyperlink. Be sure it includes the year of the article you want.

5. The next page will look different for each interface. The screenshot below is simply one example. But regardless of interface, you will be able to select the year, volume, and issue number of publication to retrieve your article in full text. Sometimes you can search for the article title.
