Do We Own It?

Research databases often list articles from more sources than the library owns. If you already have a reference to a specific article, or a database record does not link to the full text of an article, how can you find out if the article is available?

Journal Finder
Enter the title of the journal to see if the year you need is available online. If not, check for a print version in a ULS location and request a scan of the article.
PittCat
Enter the title of the journal to find out if the library owns a print or electronic version. Records for print journals show what years are available and where. Records for electronic journals link to the webpage for the journal.

Alternatively, search PittCat for the article itself to see whether the full text is linked to its record.
PubMed Central
If the article is on a medical, biomedical, or related topic, check PubMed Central to see if a free copy has been deposited there.
