Health Advocacy: Find Articles

To search content from many journals at one time, databases are best.

Here are a few databases that may be relevant for your class. 

Some of our databases provide full-text articles (indicated by a PDF or HTML link after the citation).  Others only show you the titles of articles.  For these, click Article Linker to find out whether we own the journal in print and/or online.  Note the year of the journal article and make sure we own the year you need!

If we don't own the journal article you need, you may order through InterLibrary Loan.  See below:

There are always 2 sides to every issue.  Healthcare and healthcare law, politics, education are often controversially discussed.  Use these databases to explore the chronology of a given issue, the pros/cons of the issue, and the global context or implications.

If you already have a citation, the title of journal, it's ISSN, or would prefer to browse journals by a particular subject, follow the steps below:

1. Click on the Journals tab from the library search bar
2. Choose from the following options in the drop-down menu to the left of the search box: Title begins with, title equals, title contains all words, or ISSN equals.
3. Enter all or part of the journal title and then select the SEARCH button. Make sure that you are entering the title of the journal, not the title of the article itself. 
4. Locate the correct title from the results list. 
5. Select the title with the dates that you need and choose the database name next to your preferred dates. 
6. You will be redirected to another screen where you can search for your article. 
7. If the journal or date you want is not available, order the article through interlibrary loan using the link below.
