Use the OneSearch search box in the Burgess Library catalog to search for articles across all of the library's subscription databases. You can limit your search by selecting "Everything" in the OneSearch box after you enter your search terms.
You can also click on Advanced Search to enter a more complex search.
On the search results page, look to the left side of the page to "Refine my results" and select "Articles" under "Resource Type" to limit results to articles.
Once you locate an item, open its record and scroll to the "View Online" section to see which database(s) provide access to it. Note that databases provide two types of search results:

2. Surrogate records, which only provide the article's metadata such as the author's name, article and journal titles, publication information, and an abstract and/or summary. If the catalog record does provide access to the full-text of the article, follow the PASCAL Delivers instructions to request that it be emailed to you through interlibrary loan (ILL).
