Discovery Catalog User's Guide

A brief guide to the basic features of the WMS Discovery online catalog.

Finding a Journal Article

To find an article (as opposed to a book or an eBook), keep the default Library setting to Libraries Worldwide. To find articles, limit your Format by Article. This will yield print articles, downloadable articles, and book chapters. To see only downloadable articles, select Downloadable Article. 

To access an article or to view its location in the library, it is necessary to view the item's record through the title of the resource. Here is an example of a downloadable article. Its record contains a link to view the full text of the article, as well as the information about the source database.
