For your ESU courses you might be working on several types of projects. What this means is that there are a wide range of databases that Kemp has available for you to use, depending on your project's focus.
When looking for articles these Kemp Library databases are usually the first place to look for articles. Depending on your topic, these may not be the only ones that can help you.
Use the Search Strategy tab for finding books, articles, etc.

A great way to find the top journals in your subject is to go to SCImago Journal and Country Rank and to look at the journals that are the top in your subject area.
Go here and then look at "All Subject Areas" OR "All Subject Categories" (don't do both) and pick the broad subject (like linguistics, sociology, classics, nurse assisting, etc. to see top journals in the field.
If you want journals you can instantly access, hit the box "display only Open Access Journals" right under the drop down menus.
Example with subject category Archeology (arts and humanities) and display only Open Access Journals:
If you find an article that you want to see if we have access to, you would look at the citation and lookup the journal. Here you would search for IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, and if you find it in our holdings you would locate the volume (35, number 3) and look at pages 6-18.
Sample citation: Jesiek, Brent K. 2013. "The Origins and Early History of Computer Engineering in the United States." IEEE Annals Of The History Of Computing 35, no. 3: 6-18.

There is no direct, comprehensive way to search by article title in our print collection or in our electronic collection (unless you know which database your article is located in - then you can search by article title). Find the Journal Title your article appears in, and search this title in Primo. This is a much faster and more efficient way for your to search for your article.
If you're having trouble finding something specific, try Google Scholar. If we don't have it and you can't access it on Google Scholar, you can always request it via interlibrary loan (see the "We Don't Have It?" tab).
