Find Magazine & Newspaper Articles ...

How do I find the article if it's not in the database?

The UW Libraries subscribes to many databases because they do not include the same publications.  The publishers decide which databases may include the full text of their articles.  If a database does not provide the full text of the article that you need, select the button that you see:   

or

These buttons will search to see if the Libraries has the article online in a different database and, if we don't, see if the magazine or newspaper is available in paper form.
