Notre Dame Australia - Library FAQs

How do I find journal articles?

If you have the title of the article and the name of the journal it comes from:

Go to either the eJournal A - Z Search or the Library Catalogue and search for the title of the journal the article comes from (not the title of the article). Follow the links to either access the journal online or to view the record for a print journal in the one of the libraries.

Check the listing for the journal to make sure that the issue you need is available.

If you are looking for articles on a topic:

Journal articles are not listed in the library catalogue but you can search for journal articles using the Library Databases.

From the list of databases relevant to your subject area (point the mouse at a title to see a short description of the database) or choose a collection of databases such as Ebsco, Gale Databases or Informit.  You will need to describe your topic using keywords to find either full-text articles or a citations for a relevant articles.
