LS 101: Ways of Knowing

These are some suggested databases that will be helpful for your project. To see all of the library's databases, go to http://www.lib.montana.edu/resources/.

The full text of many articles is available through our databases.  If it is not, here are your other options for getting the full text.

Use the  link within a database.  If the article is in a journal to which we subscribe, you will either get linked right to that article (electronic access) or be linked into the library catalog to get a call number so you can find the journal in the library (print access).  If we don't subscribe to the journal, you will find a link to get in to Request It! - make a request and we will get a copy from another library for you.

If you have a citation for which you are trying to find full text, use the Journals by Title link to look for the journal by title.  The JournaList is a list of all our periodicals holdings, both electronic and print.  If we subscribe, the JournaList is a quick way to find that out.  Again, if we do have the journal, you will be linked to electronic access or to the catalog to get a call number.  The Journals & Magazines link can be found under FIND on the library's home page.

If the library does not subscribe to a journal, you can request your article through Request It! and we will get a copy for you from another library.  You can log in directly to Request It! using the same username and password you use for D2L (Banner number or Net/ID and associated password).  Again, you can also get  to Request It! under REQUEST on the library's home page. You can also request that a print article or book chapter be scanned for you or you can ask that a book be held for you at the circulation desk for pick up.
