Dorothy H. Hoover LibraryHow do I search for a specific journal article?
If you have an exact citation for a journal article,
- type the NAME of the journal in Journal Search (do not type the title of the article, but the journal's name, such as Artforum, Canadian Art, IAQ, etc.)
- Note that we have some journals in PRINT only, but if we have access to an ejournal version, do the following:
- click the TITLE of the database that includes the journal title (for example, Gale Academic OneFile and Art, Design & Architecture Collection are databases that have Artforum)
- on the database ejournal page, either BROWSE for the article using volume, issue, page numbers OR oftentimes you can keyword SEARCH words from the article TITLE within the ejournal.
For example, for Canadian Art
- Journal Search indicates that OCAD U has full text issues from 1993 onwards as well a print copies from 1984
- By selecting the database CBCA, you can search for article titles or subjects only within Canadian Art
