What is Citation Linker?

Citation Linker is a tool that helps you find the full text of an article when all you have is the citation (article title, author, journal name). Find it on the library's website under Research Support.

Citation Linker can tell you if an article is available online, in print in the library, or if you need to request it from Interlibrary Loan.

Using Citation Linker

Enter as much information as possible on the form.

Be sure to enter the ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) of the journal if you have it; this will help Citation Linker find the correct journal. You can find the ISSN in Ulrich's Periodicals Directory
