How do I find a specific article? I know the title and publication information.

When you know the article you're looking for, search for the journal or magazine title (NOT the title of the article) in Library Search. If Parkside has access to the publication, the availability statement will indicate if it's in the library or online. (If you're having trouble finding the publication title, switch to the Journal Search at the top of the screen.)
In this example, the first item is in the library, and the second is available online. Click either of these to get information about which issues (by date) are available in which medium. Look for the availability that includes the date of the article you are looking for.
If you can't find the journal title, or if the date you need is unavailable, you can request the article through interlibrary loan, and we can get it for you from another library.
Finding articles can be complicated. If you haven't found what you're looking for, contact us for help.
