How to find articles from the new Library Research site

1 September 2008 - 1:24am — goodinjo

Several people have asked about how to find articles from journals using the new Library Research website. Let me count the ways:

1) Using Encore, our new research and discovery tool. The Research page uses Encore as its default search. Along with searching Magnus (the library’s online catalog) if you enter a search term in the Encore search box (and you are on campus) that term is also sent to the Academic Search Complete, JSTOR and Project Muse databases.
