Finding Journal Articles

Journal articles on undergraduate reading lists are usually found in e-Reserve. Search using words in the article title or author's name. The procedure is exactly the same as finding book chapters. However, if your lecturer has not placed materials in e-Reserve you may also need to search Journal Finder which lists the names of all print and electronic journals available through the library homepage.
