If you have a full citation for an article, you can use Journal Finder to find it through the library by typing the journal title in the search box and then searching for the article or looking for the specific issue:
For information on how to use the Library's journals page, see the video in the "Video: Searching for Journals / Articles" in the video tutorial box, below.
The Library subscribes to a service called LibKey which lets you use a browser plugin to search for content directly on a journal's website. With the LibKey Nomad browser extension, the journal will recognize your affiliation with Franklin University and permit you to access content which the Franklin University Library subscribes to through the library's databases.
LibKey also provides a DOI search, so you can search for an article if you know the article's DOI.
For additional information about using both LibKey Nomad and LibKey DOI search, see the Library's LibKey Research Guide.
Another way you can find articles in the library's databases is through Google Scholar. To customize Google Scholar, find Franklin University in the settings by searching in the Library Links area. You can also add OhioLINK to your preferences. You will still need to log in to access e-books and databases when off-campus. For more information, see the video on using Google Scholar in the Video Tutorials box, below, or our Google Scholar research guide.
If you weren't able to find your article using either of these methods, it is possible that the library does not have access to this article. If this is a class article that you believe we should have access to, please contact the library for help.
If this is an article that you wanted to use for an assignment, we may still be able to get you access through our InterLibrary Loan service. Fill out the InterLibrary Loan Request form linked below:
