Accessing Articles

  • Each article in the search results will display the access options below the article summary. This will likely include at least one of the following:
    • Download PDF
    • Read Article
    • View Issue Contents

Download PDF and Read Article are the quickest ways to access an article.

Access options for articles in Library Search appear at the end of each article's listing in search results.

Tip: Availability

  • If you need scholarly or peer-reviewed articles, also select the Peer-reviewed filter under Availability.
  • Please note that there are two ways to apply filters, by clicking on the button/toggle OR by checking the box on the left and applying the filter.
The peer-reviewed option appears in the Availability section.
