When given a citation, these are the steps to find the article through the Library.
Micklethwait, J., & Wooldridge, A. (1996). PETER DRUCKER: The guru’s guru. McKinsey Quarterly, 3, 144–159.
1) Always start at the MCOB Library website www.southalabama.edu/mcoblibrary rather than going to the publisher's website. We can authenticate your JAG number/password showing you are a current student and should have access. If you go directly through the publisher, they may ask you to pay for the article.
2) First, locate the journal title. In this case it is the McKinsey Quarterly.
3) In the middle of the MCOB Library page, click on the tab for Journals.
3) We've provided links to some of the most popular magazines or journals.
4) If there's not a direct link to your journal provided, enter the name of the journal/magazine in the search box. "Our Journal & E-Book List" will tell you if we subscribe to the journal that the article is in.
5) If we have it, it will tell you which database the journal is in and the years that are available. Click on the link for the database that includes the year of publication you need.
6) If you are off-campus, it will ask for your Jag number and password (same as your email account). Then the database will open.
7) Once it opens, you can search by date, volume/issue, author or the title of the article to pull it up.
Just FYI.. we don't have all journals available electronically. Some we only have in print (especially older journals, pre-2000s). If you do need one that we only have in print, fill out an ILL (InterLibrary Loan) request form, and they will scan it and send to you.
If we don't have the journal, you can request the article through the University Libraries' Interlibrary Loan Service, which is located in the Marx Library.
