Using Discovery to Locate Articles

The search box on the library homepage connects to the University of Melbourne's main search tool, Discovery.

• Enter your search terms. A results list will display and a number of options to limit your search
• Limit to "peer reviewed journals" to restrict the search results to journal articles
• Consider utilising the advanced search options to refine your search further
• Click on the links in the results list to be directed to our holdings
• Check our Discovery Library Guide and the Discovery Help site for more detailed advice

If you have the exact article title, putting it in double quotations in the search field will yield the most accurate results. Similarly, if you have the DOI, enter the number into the search field to link to the article. 

Automating authentication
