Example. If a citation leads you to the book Dismantling race in higher education : racism, whiteness and decolonising the academy, 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 "Surveillance, Spatial Compression, and Scale: The FBI and Martin Luther King Jr" in the catalog for access.
If it doesn't come up, try America: History and Life (also below). 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 (see below).
Do.Not.Buy.Articles!
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 The divine nine : the history of African American fraternities and sororities so I would order it through ILL.
