Article Linker

Owens Library subscribes to the service Article Linker, which links all copies of journal and magazine titles owned by the Library. It doesn't matter if the copy is electronic, paper, microfiche, or microfilm, Article Linker can be used to find the text of articles within most databases. Article Linker can also be used to find an alphabetical list of journals owned by the Library.

Article Linker Within A Database

Let's use Expanded Academic Index as an example. Go to Expanded Academic Index and do a search on a topic. The list of citations shows the title of the article and if it has the full-text of that article, the words Full-text or PDF pages will appear at the bottom of the citation. Click on these links to get the full text of the article.

If Expanded Academic Index does not offer the full-text of that magazine, click on Find A Copy. This does one of several things. It may link you to another database with a link to the article. Click the link to go to the full text of the article as shown below.

When you click on Find a Copy, it may take you directly to the full text of the article from another database. Be sure to cite the article using the database where you actually read the full text, not the database used to search for the article.

When you click on Find a Copy, you may also find a link to the Owen's Library Catalog which will show what the library owns as in the example below.

From this screen, click on Journal, to see the holdings in the library catalog. The example below shows that volume 49, the volume that you need, is microfiche under the call number JA1 .A4. To locate this title, you would go to second floor microfiche.

Using Article Linker's A-Z List to find Print or Full-text Journals

Use this option to locate the journal title and location when only the title or author of an article is known. Also use this option to find journal issues by table of contents.

1. From the Search For Articles page, link to Periodical Titles.
2. Find journals by either typing in the name of the journal or by linking to the letter corresponding to the first letter of the journal.
3. Click on Search for Article (do not confuse this with our Search for Articles page on the Library's homepage) to locate the article.
4. The table of contents of journals is also searchable by year when clicking on the database title, i.e. Expanded Academic ASAP.
5. Use Interlibrary Loan to get copies of articles not available in Owens Library by using the Order a copy click here for details link.
   

Ask a librarian for help if you still cannot find what you need or if you need help citing an article.
