All Monmouth University students, faculty and staff have access to subscription databases on campus.
Remote access to databases requires entry of username and password (same as email) for verification.
Many databases provide full text access to journals. However, you can use the GET ARTICLE icon to search for full text coverage of the title you need in one of the other databases. If no access is available, you can request and Interlibrary Loan (ILL) for the materials which takes 1-2 weeks.
Use the Journal Locator to see if the Library has access to a journal or periodical.
Use the word "AND" to combine your keywords to make your search more specific.
eg. holocaust AND poland
Use synonyms and alternative terms Related terms - broader or narrower - will also bring up relevant results. eg. teenagers | adolescents | youth
Use Truncation "*" to search for words with common roots without entering them individually. eg. searching for teen* retrieves teen, teens, teenaged, teenagers
Restrict searches to academic, peer-reviewed journals
