If you have an article citation (like the one below) and want to find that specific article, you can find it several ways:
Copy and paste the article title into SuperSearch, found on the Library's homepage (or use the link below). It is often useful to put quotes around the article title to find the exact title you want. Example: “My owner, right or wrong: The effect of familiarity on the domestic dog's behavior in a food-choice task”. Follow the full-text link in the results to find the full article.
Watch this short video going over the steps for how to see if the TCC Library has access to an article from a specific journal, magazine, or newspaper (aka "periodicals")
If the Library's research databases don't contain this article, then search Google Scholar using the same technique - “My owner, right or wrong: The effect of familiarity on the domestic dog's behavior in a food-choice task”.
If neither of these avenues provide you with the article, ask a librarian for help. You can also request that the TCC Library get the article from another library.
