All library databases are accessible on/off campus. If you are off-campus, you will be prompted to enter your North Park username and password.
1. Go to library.northpark.edu
2. Click “Articles”
3. Click “Find a specific journal by title”
4. Enter in the title of the journal and click “Go”
If we don’t have access to the journal, you can request a copy of the article through our Interlibrary Loan service. We will email you when your article arrives; please allow 7–14 days for delivery.
How to request articles through Interlibrary Loan:
1. Go to library.northpark.edu
2. Click “Research Resources”
3. Click “Interlibrary Loan”
4. Complete the request form and click “Submit”
If you find an article in a database and there is no option to download a PDF, you will see this "Find Full Text" button instead.
Click on it to find out if the article is available in one of our databases. If it's not available, you will have the option to order a copy via Interlibrary Loan. You will receive an email when the article is available.
Searching library databases is bit different from searching Google. Try using the following search techniques to retreive more relevant information.
| AND |
Use two or more search boxes. Combine keywords with AND Example: women AND lung cancer |
| OR |
To look for either of two concepts, use OR |
| "Phrase Search" |
Use quotation marks around phrases to find the exact phrase |
