Discovery Catalog User's Guide: Finding a Journal Article

If you are looking for an article (as opposed to a book or eBook), you will want to keep your default Library setting to Libraries Worldwide. To find articles, you will have to limit your Format by Article. This will yield print articles, downloadable articles, and book chapters. If you want to see only downloadable articles, select Downloadable Article. 

To access an article or view its location on the shelf, you will need to enter the record through the title of the resource. In this case, I've chosen a downloadable article. Its record contains a link to view the full text, as well as the information on which database it came from.
