Hi Phil, Thank you for letting us know about that error, I have reported it to the team that can fix it. The best way to find an article when you have the citation is to go to the library homepage and click on the tab 'Journals' at the top of the search box. Then type in the name of the publication (newspaper, magazine, or journal) and click 'Search.' This search then displays date ranges and links to the databases where the date stated date ranges can be accessed. This is the screen you get when searching for the article you requested in the Harvard Educational Review journal : [|http://findit.library.gwu.edu/?V=1.0&N=100&L=UZ4UG4LZ9G&C=harvard+educational+review&S=A_T_M]The article is from 2003 so you can click on any of the 3 databases that include that year. Once you get into the database search for the article title. Here is an instructional video on that process: [] If you are doing research for your graduate degree, I would recommend using a database to search for articles instead of ArticlesPlus. A database will allow you to delve deeper into your topic and to discover articles that are not indexed in ArticlesPlus.

To select a database click on the phrase 'Subject Databases' under the search box on the homepage and then select the appropriate discipline. Here is an instructional video with more details: [|http://www.screencast.com/t/hyM97VJ393] Alternatively, clicking on Academic Search Complete or ProQuest Research Library on this popular databases page: [] Best, Joscelyn Leventhal
