Pro tip! When you find a good article, click "Get It at UC" to get the online PDF. If Berkeley doesn't have that journal, use "interlibrary loan" to request that we borrow it from another library.

Also! If you find a great article, find its references in our Citation Linker... or search for the title in Google Scholar  and click "cited by" to see newer articles that build on the one you found!
