From the library homepage, enter the name of the journal in the search box near the top.  Change the tag to read “Journal Title” then enter.  If your journal is full text in one of our databases the result will include a link to the database where you can access the full text.  If there were no hits you can complete online an ILL form requesting a journal article reprint. Allow 7 days for receipt of the reprint.  http://library.trevecca.edu

By subject: 

Search MetaFind, on the menu from the library homepage, will search all databases the library subscribes to with one search statement.  It takes a bit of time to process, if you are using a phone connection as your Internet access, you may want to just go directly to a database.  http://library.trevecca.edu/screens/metafind.html
