Getting the Full Text of Articles

If the full-text of an article is not available in the database you are searching, look for a "Locate it" button, which will link you to either the journal in which the article is published or to the article itself.  If there is no button, use the Journal Titles tab in the red search box at the top of the main library web page to search for the title of the journal, or use the link below.  If we have a subscription, you will learn what years are available and in what database. Although we subscribe to thousands of journals in electronic format, some or all years of a journal may be available only in physical form in the periodicals collection on B2.  For other journals we may have limited access, for example, not the most recent issues or not the earliest published issues.

Useful Databases

Note that all of the databases listed below can be searched simultaneously. Just click on any one of them and then on "Choose Databases" at the top of the search page.  From there you can check the databases you wish to search. Click OK and then perform your search.  You will be searching all the databases you checked.

Since food is a subject on which many ill-informed people are inclined to offer their opinions, you would do well to limit your search to "Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals if you want only academic articles. It doesn't guarantee accuracy, since even experts disagree (which means some of them must be wrong), but it weeds out the random unsubstantiated claims.
