Find Articles
Databases listed below provide access to citations and often the full text of journal/magazine/other articles when UNB has an electronic subscription to the host or source publication. Where full text is not linked directly, there should be some facility (often denoted by the UNB sail logo) to "Check for Fulltext".
If you are unable to locate the item you are looking for at UNB, either in print or online, you can still submit a document delivery request.
Key Resources
- ERIC - EBSCO ERIC is a "bibliographic database that contains education-related documents and journal articles." The EBSCO interface also provides some full text linking.
Unlimited simultaneous users. - Academic Search Premier Academic Search Premier is a multidisciplinary resource that "provides journal coverage for most academic areas of studies."
Unlimited simultaneous users. - Google Scholar Google Scholar searches a subset of the Web that Google has classified as "scholarly literature". They do not publish a list of chosen sites, and they do not state how often sites are checked. Some important sources are not covered at all. Thus, Google Scholar alone should not be relied on for comprehensive research.
By accessing Google Scholar as a UNB Libraries user, you benefit from technology that lets on-campus and off-campus users connect directly to full-text articles in journals to which UNB subscribes. Just click on the blue Title link in the Google result list.
To still view UNB Libraries' holding on-campus or off-campus through Google Scholar, use the following steps:
- Follow link above or go to https://scholar.google.com/ to ensure bypassing the proxy login.
- Click the three lines in the top left corner.
- Click Settings.
- Click Library Links.
- Search for University of New Brunswick, check the box next to the result, and save your settings.
You can now continue to search and should see the Check for Fulltext @ UNB links next to articles and books we have access to.

Unlimited simultaneous users. - Scopus Scopus, a new multidisciplinary online resource, will be invaluable to students and faculty in various fields of study within the sciences, health sciences and the social sciences. Scopus offers full-text linking, abstracting-and-indexing information and provides access to over 66 million abstracts dating back to 1966.
