To discover if the Library provides access to a newspaper, magazine, or journal follow these steps:
- Go to the Library's home page: http://www.lynchburg.edu/knight-capron-library
- Use the Find Journals Tab
- Enter the name of the publication in the text box
- Use the 'Search' button
- If the library provides access that publication, online or in print, a set of results will appear
- Very important - look at the dates to the right of the publication name
- Be sure that the article you want is within the date range shown
- If there are multiple results for the publication (as is the case with the Wall Street Journal)
- Find the correct edition for the article you need
- In your case the edition is the Wall Street Journal Online
- Click on the link for the proper edition
- You now need to search for your article within the publication
- Searching will vary, depending on the database
For the Wall Street Journal Online, you find it in the Factiva Academic database
- When you get to the results page for the Wall Street Journal Online
- Use the 'Modify Results' button in the upper right corner
- Use the dropdown menu next to 'Date' and change it to the last 6 months
- Click the arrow next to 'Author' to generate the author search feature
- Enter the name of the author of the article
- Use the blue 'Search' button
- scroll through the list to the article you want
- If the Library had not provided access, you would need to use Interlibrary Loan to request a copy of the article
