Articles, Databases & Indexes

Read below to learn how to find articles and other information in print and online indexes and databases in a range of subject areas.

Find Articles with Known Citations

To find an article for which you have an article citation, use the the "citation linker" in

Find Articles

To find articles by topic, author, or other information, use a periodical index or its online equivalent, a database. If you need to verify a citation (for instance, you have incomplete information about an article), use an index or database.

The UO Libraries now have a tool called OneSearch to make finding articles easier. OneSearch can search several databases, library catalogs, and electronic resources simultaneously, and return the search results to you in a single, merged list.

There are two ways to search for articles in OneSearch:

QuickSets choose this if you're just starting out, or not sure what databases will work best for your topic.
Advanced Search choose this if you know the specific subject or other type of category in which you need to search.

Find Indexes and Databases

Through OneSearch, you also can search for a specific database or index in Find Database.

Click on a letter of the alphabet to see a list of databases starting with that letter.
You also can can enter the title of the database, OR search by keyword or category.
Click on the "i" icon to learn more about the index or database.
Click on the database name itself to go directly into that database (not via the OneSearch interface)
For help with searching, try Database Search Guides or Tips for Database Searching.

Find E-Journals

FindText's e-journal service provides access to specific journal titles and subject category lists.
