Locating Articles in Renfro Library

If you have a citation for an article (from a bibliography or from a database that didn't provide the full text of the article), follow these steps to locate the text of the article.

You will need to know the periodical (magazine, journal or newspaper) title and issue date and the author, title, and pages of the article.

Please ask for help at the Research Assistance Desk if you need help!!

    Check for availability via Renfro Library
    • Go to the Renfro Periodicals & Newspapers web page.
    • Search or browse for the JOURNAL in theJOURNAL LOCATOR, a listing of our electronic and print subscriptions.
    • If the title for the journal is listed, look to see if the coverage dates include the date that you need. The listing would either provide a link to an electronic subscription or indicate where the periodical is located in Renfro Library.


      • For Periodical Subscriptions available Electronically
      • Click on the link to the database.
      • Refer to the article citation you have, select from the list of dates and/or issues.
      • Scroll through the list of articles to find the article you need.
