Resources for Finding Journals and Articles

UMKC Libraries Databases

Use to find: Articles (citations, abstracts, some full-text)

The UMKC Libraries' databases cover a multitude of subject disciplines. Some databases provide citation/abstract only, while others offer full text. Access to some databases may be restricted to UMKC students, faculty, and staff.

Serials Solutions

Use to find: Full-text online journals, magazines, and newspapers and full-text articles in these resources

Serials Solutions lists online journals available in full-text and the databases that include these journals. You may browse by subject or title, or search by words in the title.
