Spark 001 (Gingold): How Do I Find Articles from Citations?

Known Items

Known item searching refers to finding books or articles based on titles or citations.

Finding a Known Item

Article Level Strategies

  • Look for the article title in Google Scholar.  For full-text, try clicking on the article title OR look under More for UC-eLinks/ Get it at UC.
  • Look for the article title in UC Library Search.  Look for the green Available Online link or the request form. 
  • Look in regular Google. You may be able to find on the web IF someone has posted it.

Journal Level Strategy

  • Look for the journal title in the eJournal finder. Search for the journal title in the Journals tab on the library home page search box.  See if the journal is available. Is the date you need available? If so, drill down to the correct volume and issue number.

Library Account Information

  • When requesting items from other libraries, the form asks you for your library card/account number. This is your UCMNetID (first part of your email address).
  • To check the status of your Interlibrary Loan (ILL) requests or renew your ILL requests, use your My ILL Requests Account.
    • Library card/account = UCMNetID
    • Home campus = UCM
  • To check the status of everything you have checked out, use your My Library Account.
    • Use your UCMNetID and password
  • To check out physical items, just bring your CatCard.
