If you have a complete article citation, you can search Articles+ to find the full text of your article.
No luck? That doesn't mean we don't have access to the article - it could be in print! Try using the PennText Article Finder as a next step. If the print is not available at Penn, there will be an option to request a scan of the article through Interlibrary Loan.
To find the full-text of an article, enter the journal name into the PennText article finder. A pop-up box will give you options to access the article online, in print, or the option to request through Interlibrary Loan.
If your citation is a book, use Franklin, the Library catalog. Franklin will help you find the library in which the book is located, and the call number.
You can search for a specific book by title, author, or ISBN. You can also do a keyword or subject keyword search to find books on a particular topic. To find books at other libraries in the US and around the world, there is WorldCat. To get a copy of a book that Penn does not own, or is charged out to another reader, you can request books from EZBorrow (mainly Pennsylvania academic libraries) or BorrowDirect (the Ivies+ group).
