Once you have a citation for an article (e.g. author, title, name of journal, volume, year, page numbers):

• Click on the orange Find it @ PUL (SFX) button next to the citation, if there is one. That will tell you if we have the article in an online format, and, if not, will link you into the library catalog to locate the print version in the stacks. [NOTE: this SFX link is not perfect, if no results are found, double-check by cutting and pasting the name of the journal and doing a title search in the catalog.] Make sure to check Princeton’s holdings to determine: 1. what years we have online, or 2. what years we have in the stacks (issues we are lacking should be noted), OR

• Do a journal title search in the online catalog to find out the location of the journal in the stacks (and online).

There are many more databases available to you at Princeton. See the Articles & Databases page, and select the Subject Lists at the top to direct you to additional databases by subject.
