How do I find an article if I have the citation?

Answer

Pasting an entire citation into the searchbox often doesn't get the best resutls. Instead: 

First, enter just the article title into the search box on the library homepage. 

If that doesn’t bring up your article try some of these tips:

  1. Try adding the first author. 
  2. Try entering fewer words of the title
  3. Search for the journal title - select an option that includes the date of your article, and navigate to the volume, issue and page. 

If you aren't sure which is the journal title and which the article title in the citation, refer to one of our citation style guides. 

If UNE Library Services does not provide access to the journal issue you need, use interlibrary loan to request a copy of the article. You will receive articles as a PDF file, usually within 1-2 business days.
