You can search Google and find your way to the public websites of many academic journal publishers and view their citations and abstracts. Here is a very short list of leading academic publishers and there are many others:

ScienceDirect (Elsevier)

Taylor & Francis

John Wiley

Springer

DeGruyter

Karger

Oxford University Press

Cambridge University Press

IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)

ACM (Association for Computing Machinery)

Routledge

Brill


The Library does not license full-text access to these services, and you can't directly connect to the Library's ILL (interlibrary loan) service to obtain copies.

These publisher websites will ask you to pay for the article. Don't!


Here's how to find your article using Discovery GALILEO and if needed, place an ILL request for the article you want.

  • Go to the Library's homepage.
  • Paste the article's title in the Discovery GALILEO search field and click Search.
  • When the search result opens, scan the list for the article you want. It should be close to the top.
  • Click on the Access Options button.
  • Otherwise, click on the Full-Text Finder link. 
  • Full-Text Finder will tell you whether full-text is directly available in some other online service the Library licenses.
  • Or It will also show a link to Obtain the Article through ILL (Interlibrary Loan).
  • Click that link to place an ILL request. (For more about ILL and Full-Text Finder, watch this tutorial.)
