Finding Articles on Your Topic
These are the major tools for USF researchers seeking law review and journal
articles on topics they are researching. For more information about the features,
pros and cons of each tool, see the Zief Library research guide "Tools
for Finding Law Review Articles." For specific search hints, see the
"Cheat Sheets," which are available for most of these tools. If you
are doing a preemption check for a law review or journal, see the "Cheat
Sheet" "Conducting Preemption Checks."
