Are there any articles on my topic?

• Resources by Subject
  Refers you to databases and subject guides.
  Look at the resources listed under these disciplines:
  • Law—United States
  • Law—Foreign and International
  
  
  NOTE: Other disciplines/topics also offer databases and resources relevant to legal research.
  
  
• Databases by Title
  Allows you to look at an alphabetical list of databases available at UB. Also allows you to do a simple search of database descriptions. (Caveat: do NOT use the words law, music, poetry, art, science, or health in your search (…because it also searches the names of the libraries –a small glitch) (Legal Periodical Indexes include LegalTrac, Index to Legal Periodicals and Books, and Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals.)

How can I find the articles I identified?

• Electronic Journals (E-Journals)
  Use to find (in electronic format) full-text magazines, newspapers, and scholarly journals by title of publication (not specific article).
  
  
• BISON
  Do a search using the title of the publication (not the title of the article).

What if UB does not own the book or article I need?

• ILLIAD (Inter-Library Loan)
  Provides a form so you can order a book or journal article not available in the UB Libraries. (UB affiliated patrons only.)
