If the article(s) you need is not part of our subscription, request the article(s) via Interlibrary Loan! Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is the process of borrowing books and/or obtaining periodical articles from other libraries or institutions.
All you have to do is fill out our Journal Article Request form! Pertaining the amount to pay, you can indicate that you want to pay zero (0.00); which will prompt our ILL department to only ask institutions that do not charge.
Once you have submitted the request, our ILL department will be in contact with you via email. Most article(s) requests take from 5-14 working days to arrive.
Below is a link to our Journal Article Request form.
The library has access to thousands periodicals (journals, magazines, newspapers, items that are published in a periodical basis). For the most part we have access through subscription packages, others by print subscription and some via open access. Generally the most effective way to search periodical articles is by using databases, however, sometimes you may want to search articles within a specific publication; if so you must use the Periodical List.
If we do not have access to the journal or periodical you need, it may be possible for us to obtain articles through interlibrary loan.
Note: If you are off-campus, you may be prompted to log in to your Blackboard account before accessing our resources.
Searching in Periodical List
You have the option to search or browse for specific periodical publications. It is recommend to use the search function when you have the title of the specific publication you are inquiring about.
If you are looking for a specific article, you may use Google Scholar @ HPU to search for the full text. Type (or copy and paste) the TITLE of your article in the box below and hit Search. If the article is available in full text (either through HPU's holdings or freely accessible on the web), a link will appear on the right side of the results list.
Please note that if you are off campus and go directly to scholar.google.com, HPU's full text links will NOT appear. Remember to access Google Scholar through the library's Google Scholar @ HPU link.
If you would like to search within our online journal collections, some of our nursing & health sciences collections are listed here. Note that the journals in these collections should also be listed in our Periodicals List.
