Find Magazines & Journal Articles
Your Library pays for access to specialized databases where you can find magazine and journal articles online. These materials cannot usually be found using Google (unless you'd like to pay $30+ per article!). Some articles are available in full. Other times you might only find a summary of the article with information about where and when it was published. In this case, speak with your librarians as we can usually get a copy from another library.
The databases are available from the Library’s web page at http://library.marymountpv.edu. Click on “Find Articles” in the Research section. You can also access these sites from home (see Off-Campus Access), simply by logging in with your student ID.
