Discovery A-Z is one way to search for articles in WorldCat Discovery. You can use the Basic or Advanced searches and apply the "Article, Chapter" filter. In addition, you can find articles by using the Journals Search in Discovery A-Z. Use Discovery A-Z only if you have all of the following:
- article title
- author(s) name(s)
- journal/publication title
- ISSN (International Standard Serial Number)
- publication date, volume, and issue
Even with all of these elements, the system may not retrieve a full-text article. Instead, you may be redirected to the publisher or database that lists the publication volumes and issues that meet your search criteria.

2. For accurate search results, enter the:
- article title
- author(s) name(s)
- journal/publication title
- ISSN (International Standard Serial Number)
- publication date, volume, and issue
