Search for a known citation

SearchWorks Articles+ is particularly good for finding articles where you already know the citation.

You can search for an known article by title (using quotes is more efficient). Type the title of the article in the search box. You can select "Article title" from the search options. You can also choose to search "all fields" and put more information, such as author and journal title.

Search settings

There are 2 check boxes for search settings,

  • If you check the box to limit your results to scholarly & peer reviewed you will only get scholarly article results. You may want to see magazine and newspaper results; in that case you want to uncheck that box. 
  • If you check the box for Direct access to full text you will not see results that you could get another way, which you will be able to see using the Find fullt text or request option that is part of the article record.

Find it @ Stanford page

If the article record has a "find full text or request" link, that link will take you to the Find it @ Stanford webpage. There you will see the options for getting full text. One of the options is "Request from Stanford interlibrary service providers". A request form will open up with all the citation information filled in.
