Description of service
The Journal and Article Locator allows users to enter citation information for a journal article into a set of fields which can be used to locate and redirect to the full-text of an article. Journal and Article Locator also will direct users seeking holdings and availability information for a specific journal title to the online catalog, Online Research Resources, and the Discover SFX System. Journal and Article Locator can accept full, standard or partial citations into one text entry field that will attempt to parse citation elements and automatically place them into a set of search fields which can then be used to locate a direct link to an article.
