Indexing and abstracting databases:
You may also find useful
articles using some of the other library resources, such as Academic
Search Elite. A list of databases
and online journals is available online.
Once you've identified
your articles, use Illinet Online to
determine if the library owns the journal in print or in microfilm. Because there
are also journals available electronically, you'll want to check Journals
and Magazines Available Online for electronic access to journals.
If
you cannot find an article at Elmhurst, you can request it through our online
Interlibrary
Loan article request form.
