Once I find the journal, how do I find my article?
For journals in an electronic database, you can just search for the article using the title and author -- or sometimes there is a list of years or volumes of the periodical, and you can follow the links to your article
For paper versions of journals, go back to your citation information and find the exact year, volume, and issue of the journal.
What if the journal I’m looking for is not available through PI Library?
If the periodical you want is not available in PI Library in either paper or electronic versions, you may have to place an Interlibrary Loan to get a copy of the article. Please send us an email at ill@pi.ac.ae and we'll search other libraries such as ZU, UAEU, HCT or the British Library to find it for you.
