Locating Newspaper and Journal Articles
If you know the journal title:

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 or indicates bound, back issues or microfilm availability. 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.
Electronic Resources Link: Click on the ‘Electronic Resources’ link from the library homepage, then choose either
* Looking for databases by subject displays a subject list of databases
* Looking for databases by title browses an A-Z title list of databases

Accessing the databases off campus requires you to verify your Trevecca status by providing your name and the 11 digit barcode number from your student ID.
