Individual journal and newspaper articles are not indexed in library catalogs. In order to find individual articles within specific journals and newspapers, you'll need to turn to an index, either in print or online. Once you determine the title of the journal or newspaper, you can then use CONSORT and OhioLINK to find the location of the journal itself. If we don't have the journal at Kenyon, simply fill out an Interlibrary loan request form. The following History-specific and general indexes are great places to begin searching for articles.
