If you don't have a particular journal or article in mind but are hoping to find journal articles on your topic, go directly to one of these databases.

If you are looking for a particular article from a particular journal, find out which USM database indexes that journal by searching the USM e-journals collection or whether USM libraries own the title in print by searching the print journals collection.

Use Article Linker to check the availability of articles you find in USM databases

• Click adjacent to database search results to locate an electronic or print article.
