Search using a citation
In this course you will be expected to be able to find and read the full text of articles using only the citation information.
Let's take the citation below as an example:
TAITHE. (2001). Morality is not a Curable Disease: Probing the History of Venereal Diseases, Morality and Prostitution. Social History of Medicine : the Journal of the Society for the Social History of Medicine, 14(2), 337–350. https://doi.org/10.1093/shm/14.2.337
To begin, we would head to the library's homepage and use OneSearch, make sure you are signed in before beginning your search. The easiest thing to do is to paste in the articles title and see if it comes up.
If you don't aren't finding your article by searching for the article title, you can use the Journals tab to search for the journal and issue number for the article. This is also a great tool for browsing important journals in your field.
Searching for Journals:
Based on the citation: TAITHE. (2001). Morality is not a Curable Disease: Probing the History of Venereal Diseases, Morality and Prostitution. Social History of Medicine : the Journal of the Society for the Social History of Medicine, 14(2), 337–350. https://doi.org/10.1093/shm/14.2.337, we can see the Journal title is "Social History of Medicine."
Navigate to the "Journal Search" Tab at the top of the library homepage. Then, type "Social History of Medicine" into the search bar.
Voila! We have access to this journal through Baylor. Click on the "available online" link to navigate to the journal's homepage.
Next, we'll have to find the specific year, volume, and issue of the journal that our article appears in.
Let's look back at our citation: TAITHE. (2001). Morality is not a Curable Disease: Probing the History of Venereal Diseases, Morality and Prostitution. Social History of Medicine : the Journal of the Society for the Social History of Medicine, 14(2), 337–350. https://doi.org/10.1093/shm/14.2.337
Now, we can see that the article we're looking for was published in 2001 in volume 14, issue 2.
Navigate to the "Browse issues" box and select "2001" from the dropdown menu.
Then, select issue 2 from the issue dropdown. Scroll down, and there's our article! Bonus: this is a fun way to see what other kinds of articles a particular journal publishes.
