2. Use a Proxy Server: This option is great if you are only doing a fast search.
3. Search the library catalog for books or journal titles: Links to online books and journals are also contained within the catalog.
4. Search subject databases to find articles in journals: If you are trying to decide which database is appropriate for your research, look at the list of databases listed on the Databases and Journals Tab.
