Finding Journal Articles

The library has a number of databases where you can search for journal articles, conference proceedings, special reports and much more.

When you find a citation you like, click FindIt! to see if we have the article online or in the library.

If we have access, you will be sent to the article and can download the pdf. If we do not have access, you will be given the option to check Tripod for a PRINT copy, or you can submit an InterLibrary Loan request and we will get the article from another library.

If you are planning to do any research OFF-CAMPUS, you will need to log in to EZ-PROXY,  Bryn Mawr's proxy server. Once you have logged in through EZ-Proxy, your access to IP-linked resources will be allowed.
