Quick Find is a search tool that will help you locate research materials in all four campus libraries. You can use this tool to search for peer-reviewed journal articles (although you can search for many other types of materials as well, by changing the Resource Type filters). You can access Quick Find from the Library home page.
To search for journal articles in Quick Find:
Please note that if you are working off campus, most of the library's online resources require that you log in with your uregina username and password.
Academic OneFile Select (formerly Expanded Academic ASAP) is a database that provides access to journal articles from 1980 to the present. Coverage includes the arts, humanities, social sciences, and sciences. While this database does contain peer-reviewed journal articles, it also includes newspaper articles and book reviews, so be sure to note the document type of your results.
Search tips:
If you are unable to find a book or article through the library's catalogue or databases, you can make an interlibrary loan (ILL) request to obtain this material from another library.
To place an interlibrary loan request:
If you have any questions about this process, just ask for help at Campion Library, or you can check out the ILL webpage for more details. Please note that ILL can take days, or even weeks to complete (since the material is coming from another library), so it's a good idea to plan ahead and start your research early.
You may also find it helpful to search in some of these other databases for journal articles:
Please note: Some of these resources include citations only; that means that you will need to track down the actual article elsewhere. If you need help with this step (or at any point along the way) please feel free to contact the Librarian for assistance.
Many databases, including Quick Find, allow you to use Boolean operators (AND, OR, and NOT) to carry out your search.
An explanation of how to use Boolean operators is available from MIT Libraries.
