Core Databases

Note that in these databases not all references will necessarily include links to full-text versions of the articles you are looking for or links to publications in the NYU collection.

In such cases, you will need to make note of the complete bibliographic citation. (For journal articles: author, article title, journal title, volume and/or issue number, and pages. For book chapters: author, article or chapter title, book title, and pages.) Then you will need to search for the journal title or book title in BobCat to determine if it is held by an NYU library or use that bibliographic citation to request the publication through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).

Note also that some of these databases will include references (and possibly links) to complete books in addition to articles.
