 This video will teach you how to determine if a journal article or a journal title is available through the library and what to do if the library doesn't own it. I'll show you how to use the journal list link on the left of the web page, how to search an article title using the articles link above the main catalog search box and how to determine if the library has an article and what to do if it doesn't. Let's start by searching the journal list link to see if the library owns the medical journal JAMA. I'll click on the journal list link on the left hand side and enter the word JAMA into the box. The title appears below in the drop-down box and I can click on it. I can also just hit enter. JAMA is available online through the library. If we click on the title, we can see that this journal is available online from 1998, volume 279, issue one. Click the blue American Medical Association current link to go to the JAMA site. Click the white X on the left side of the screen. Then the blue library on the upper left hand side of the screen to start a new search. Let's say I have a specific article title from JAMA that I need to see if the library has. I'm going to click the articles link above the main search box and enter the title I need for my article. Click the blue search box on the right. We can see that the article is available online in the library's catalog. Click the blue article title. Then click the blue American Medical Association current below the full text availability to go to the article. The article opens in a separate browser window tab. I'm going to choose the first tab again to go back to the library catalog. And then click on the white X on the left side to close the window. Then the blue library up in the upper left hand side of the screen to start a new search. What if you search for an article that the library doesn't have? Let's look at an example of that. I'm going to start a new search. Click the blue search button. No full text article was found. Click the include non full text results box on the left side to see if we have the abstract. The abstract is a short paragraph that describes the article. It helps us to know if it's relevant enough to want to read the full article. The article shows in the results, but the no online access next to the picture of the links tells us that the library does not have this article in full text. You may request this article through inner library loan and the library will borrow it from another library. You will need the permalink or the citation. The librarian will need that information to order the article for you. Use the citation link in the upper right hand side of the result box or the permalink. Click the picture of the quotes or the picture of the links. Scroll down and then click the green copy box. You can now copy this article's information into either an email or a chat box. Click the blue with the librarian box on the right hand side of the screen or send the email to us at the library. Send it to reference at Bellevuecollege.edu. Include the citation or the permalink within the body of your email. This video has taught you how to determine if the library owns a specific journal title or journal article. If you have any questions about the library's catalog or interlibrary loan, contact one of our librarians.
