When looking for journal articles, or academic articles, you should look in a library database. Databases are online collections of resources (more than just journal articles!) that you can access at any time through the library website.
Use our A-Z Databases & E-resources list to select a database to search. You can filter this list by subject (e.g., Peace & Justice Studies) and/or by type of material (e.g., journal literature) to help you choose a database. If you can not find a database that's a match for what you need or you are not getting relevant results when you search in a database, contact your subject librarian for assistance!
When you search these databases, many items in your results lists will have links to the full text. Look for the links to pdf or html full text. If no full text links appear, click on the 
button/link.
