Communication Sciences & Disorders: Locating Articles

Department Research Guides identify and define standard information retrieval tools for a specific department. Each guide was created and is maintained by the library liaison for that department. We encourage you to recommend resources for the guides.

Can't Find It?

Determining whether or not we have the articles you want can be confusing.

If you get frustrated, contact me or the Reference Desk for help.

Find It @ WIU

When you are looking at search results, notice the Find it! button. Click on it to see whether we have an article.

 

Example of an article that is available at WIU:

  • Full Text: An online version that you can print off; just click on the Go button.

  • Holdings: A print version. It says we own 1986-2003, which includes the year you need. The citation from the database (repeated in the first lines of the screen below) is all you need to find the article on the 3rd floor shelves. Journals are shelved by title, in this case Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology. Then use the date and page numbers listed in the citation.



Example of an article that we do not have immediate access to here at WIU. You would need to request a copy through Interlibrary Loan:
