The document provides step-by-step instructions for finding articles in the GPRC Library databases. It describes choosing a subject area and database, entering search terms to find articles, accessing full-text articles, and using interlibrary loan to request articles not available in full-text. An example search on "Facebook and privacy" is used to demonstrate searching, finding full-text and abstract-only articles, and requesting an article through interlibrary loan when it is not available in any of the library's databases.
