So, I've got my citation, now what?

How to find the journal

If the full text of the article is not in GALILEO, you need to find the issue of the journal that contains the article. To find the article shown in the citation on the previous page, you would need to find the journal Business Communication Quarterly, and locate v. 63, no. 4, December 2000.

There are 3 places to look:

jake;
Your Local Library; and,
GALILEO database Georgia Libraries Journal List (GOLD)

jake

Check the Internet database jake to see if articles in the journal are online in a different database.

Steps for searching jake

Go to (link will open in a pop-up window) jake
Once at the jake web site, enter the name of the publication (such as Newsweek or Reading Research Quarterly) to discover which databases include it, and what years are available in the databases in full-text format.
jake lists some databases that are not in GALILEO, so you must check to see if the database with the journal is available in GALILEO. Go to GALILEO and click on All Databases to see if it is listed. If it is, go to that database to locate the article.

Local Library

Check your local library catalog to see if it subscribes to the journal and has the issue containing the article.

GOLD

Check the GALILEO database Georgia Libraries Journal List (GOLD) to see which libraries subscribe to the journal.

Steps for searching GOLD

GALILEO > News/Facts Reference > Directories and Almanacs > Georgia Libraries Journal List (GOLD)
Type the journal title in the search field.
From the results list, click on the journal title.
Scroll down the screen.
In the list of libraries that own the journal, look for the ones that have the year of the journal in which your article was published. An open entry (v.1-, 1967-) indicates a current subscription. The library has all the years since the starting date listed.

Since the GOLD database is only updated twice a year, it is a good idea to go to the catalog of the library that has the journal, and check to see if the library has the issue for which you are looking.
