Locating Articles


The library subscribes to numerous databases that are ONLY available to Ramapo students. Databases are not the internet and are the best resources to get journal articles. You can use them 24/7 both on and off campus. Off campus use requires your Ramapo email and password.

Tips for Searching Databases
  • Use the "Thesaurus" and "Subject Terms" tab in a database to find the best search terms to use.
  • Refine your search by using different terms
  • Always switch to the Advance Search page in a database. This will give you more control over your results.
  • Always use quotes around a phrase. The system searches the phrase as one word. Example: "obsessive compulsive disorder"
  • Use Boolean Operators-AND, OR, NOT when running a search to help narrow and broaden a search.
  • AND narrows your search.Example: prozac AND treatment
  • OR broadens your search. Example: bulimia OR "eating disorders"
  • NOT eliminates search results. Example: "Anorexia Nervosa" NOT bulimia
  • Always check your Spelling if the database results are Zero.
  • "Check Availabilty" link to see if articles are full-text
  • Use Journal Finder: to find journal, magazine and newspaper full-texts articles online, in print or available on microfilm.
  • Get a book or an article through Interlibrary Loan if the Potter library does not own it.
  • Check out Ulrich's International Periodical Directory to see if a journal is Scholarly/Peer Reviewed/Refereed. Articles in these journals have been reviewed by a selected panel of experts in the discipline covered by that journal.
