LOOKING FOR A SPECIFIC ARTICLE OR JOURNAL?

Use the E-Journals tab above the search box on the FIU Libraries homepage. If that doesn't lead to a full-text article, try the next option.
Use Find it @ FIU / Citation Linker via the FIU Libraries homepage to locate articles that you find when you're not using a database. It works like FIND IT @ FIU but you don't have to be in a database to find out if we own an article or journal in full-text online, in print, or microform.
