Locating an Article
Best Practices for Locating an Article
- Identify the title of the journal (Example: Harvard Business Review) and date from the reference to the article that you need.
- Go to the FAU Libraries home page by typing in www.fau.edu/library
- Under “Quick Links” click on “Electronic Journals,” which is an alphabetical list of journals that we have online, and type in the name of the journal (Example: Harvard Business Review).
- Locate a database (Example: Business Source Premier) where your journal and year can be found and click on the database name.
- In the database, click on the year of the journal that you need, and locate by date and page numbers (or title) of your article.

- If you have the citation for the article, then you can also use the "Citation Linker" on the Electronic Journals page to find the article.
- You can also use OneSearch to find the full text of an article, by typing in the author's name and the keywords in the title.
(Example: "Tarun Khanna" and "Emerging Giants").
