Public Health Graduate Student Resources: Known Item Searching

Find a Known Item

1) Find an Article

Search in Google Scholar.  Though this is not comprehensive, it will often bring up specific article titles.  The UCeLinks option is found under MORE for most citations.

2) Find a Journal

Look for a journal title in the Journals quick link from the Library home page.

  • Type in the journal name.
  • Determine if UC Merced subscribes to it for the year(s) you need.

3) Find a Journal or Article

Search for the journal title or an article title in UC Library Search.

  • On the results page, click the title for the item you need.
  • Use the Get it at UC button to find/navigate to the full text.
