Example. If a citation leads you to the book Plantation politics and campus rebellions : power, diversity, and the emancipatory struggle in higher education, copy the title into the library catalog search box.
If you see a citation for an interesting article, or you find the article online but it's behind a paywall, search the title in the library catalog (link below). As an example, search "Historically White Universities and Plantation Politics: Anti-Blackness and Higher Education in the Black Lives Matter Era" in the catalog for access.
If it doesn't come up, try America: History and Life. Each database is owned by a different company, and sometimes an article we do own will only show up in some of our databases. It is frustrating. If you can't find an article anywhere, no worries: use ILL.

This link opens in a new windowIf you cannot find a book or article in our catalog or databases, request it via InterLibrary Loan (ILL).
ILL is free and gives you access to important resources we don't own. As an example, we don't own Who killed higher education? : maintaining white dominance in a desegregation era so you would order it through ILL.
