Using the Journal Finder

How to locate journal articles if you have a citation.

What Is a Citation?

A citation is a brief description of a resource that includes the information necessary to identify and locate the resource. For journal articles, this information usually includes the article title, journal title, author, publication date, volume, and page numbers.

You may come across only a citation when using resources such as Google Scholar or another author's bibliography (a list of citations they consulted for their work).

If We Do Not Have a Journal

If the journal is not listed in the Journal finder, the Library does not have the journal.

See Interlibrary Services to learn about your options to visit another library or have the article sent here. Articles that are available within Georgia generally take 3-5 business days! 

If you need any help, please Ask a Librarian or email Alyssa Kowis, the Reference and Instruction Librarian.
