Approach 1: Through E-Journal Portal

• Click on the Journals link on the left-hand side of this page.
• Click on the first link E-Journal Portal which is the "master list" of all of the journal titles that are available electronically through SLU.
• Type the journal title in the search box.
• Locate your journal and check to see if the date range for the electronic version covers your article’s date.
• Click on the appropriate link. For many e-journals, there is more than one link for access. These multiple links indicate the different e-journal providers/vendors for each journal. You may choose any of those links.
• If you are accessing the journal from a computer that does not have a SLU IP address, you will be asked to enter your SLU e-mail’s Username and Password on the proxy access page. You should then be able to pass through to the vendor’s site.
• Each publisher or vendor may have a slightly different access method for their articles. Some you can enter the author or keywords to retrieve your article. Some may list the journal issues by date and then in a table of content format.



If the article you need is not covered by the date range
