Research Databases
Many of our research tools are accessible off-campus. HF students, staff, and faculty must contact a librarian for the username and current password.
Journal Locator: Use this tool if your article is not full-text! Search by the journal name, and if the journal is available in print or online, you'll see a list of locations & dates for which it is available. The locator does NOT index individual articles within journals. Best used when you already have a citation.
