Search Tips
- Combine keywords or phrases, or use title and author information to search for specific articles
- Use AND, OR and NOT to narrow or widen your search results
- Use filters (full text, date, subject terms) to narrow your search results
Accessing Articles
- If you find a citation or abstract without a link to the full text of the article, use the Journals by Title link on the library homepage to search for the journal. You can then use the citation information to select the correct volume and issue, then locate your article using page numbers. In some cases, you can search for the article by title within a journal
- If an article is not available through RU or as a free full text online, you ca request it via Interlibrary Loan
