Tip: Accessing article full-text
The library does not subscribe to every journal published. When looking at a results list within a database, look for a Get it! button with Rowan University branding to find sources of full text.

Evaluating Online Sources tutorialThis online learning module provides in-depth instruction in evaluating online sources through lateral reading.
Searching for Journal Articles
An easy way to find some journal articles quickly is to use the Library Search box on the Campbell Library home page (www.lib.rowan.edu/campbell).
For example, to find scholarly journal articles on drone safety, begin by entering the words "drone safety" in the Library Search box.
- Check the box for Peer-Reviewed journals under the Limit To facet on the left sidebar, and click on Apply Filter. All results should now have a Peer-Reviewed icon.
- Choose a result and click on the Available Online link.
- Scroll down to the ViewOnline section and click on one of the database links to read the article online.
Because Library Search doesn't include some of the science journals that the library subscribes to, we recommend using one of our environmental science databases for a comprehensive review of the literature on your topic.
