Online Journal Articles
Most academic journal articles are available digitally. Search using the title of the article and, if needed, the author's name in LibSearch.


A journal article is available when the option ‘View full text’ is shown and it says ‘Available VU Library’.
Printed Journal Articles
If a journal article is not available digitally, you can check whether a printed version is available. In that case, search by the title of the journal instead of the article title and author name. Then check whether the correct volume/year is available.
