How to read citations
Not sure if a citation is for a book, article, or something else? This guide from the University of California Berkeley Library can help.

If you have an article citation

1. Use the Search for articles box on the Library website. Type in your article title, in quotes.

2. The View Full Text button takes you to the full text of the article.

3. The "Check for Full Text" button searches our library collection for the journal the article was published in.

4. If we don't have immediate access to the article, you can use the Library Request Service to order a PDF. If you have any questions or trouble, you can chat or email us right from this screen.
