Find an article in LibSearch

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’.

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.

Click on ‘Access journal’ to see an overview of the volumes that are available digitally. Below, you’ll find information about which volumes are available in print at the library. When placing a request, click on the 'xx Available at x location' link and specify which volume you need.

If you can't find a journal article in LibSearch, try searching by title and author (if applicable) in Google Scholar to double-check. Articles that are not available via the VU Library can be requested through interlibrary loan.
