Find articles & journals from a database

You can find an article or journal using one of our databases. Here are some recommended databases for finding articles and journals:

Academic Search Ultimate
Find peer-reviewed journals, full text periodicals, reports, and books across multiple subjects. 

Google Scholar
Find peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, pre-prints, abstracts, and technical reports. 

The following configuration may be needed to access UA-subscribed content from off campus:

  1. In Google Scholar, open the "hamburger" menu in the far upper left next to the Google Scholar logo and select "Settings.
  2. From the settings menu, select "Library links".
  3. Type "University of Arizona" in box and select "University of Arizona - Full-Text @ UofA Libraries". Then click Save.
  4. When searching, articles for which we have full text access will display with a link "Full-Text @ UofA Libraries"; select this link to access it. (Please note that this link may be hidden in the smaller links below the citation, and you may need to click on the double arrow to the right of them to find it.)
  5. To export citations to a bibliography manager, such as RefWorks or EndNote, go to the Settings menu, click on "search results", select the desired manager in the drop-down menu next to "show links to import citations into", and Save.
