Books
Look for the title of the book in The Catalogue.
Brundage, J.A., Sex, Law and Marriage in the Middle Ages, Aldershot, 1993.
Chapters
Not all books have chapter headings listed in The Catalogue, so it is better to look for the title of the book.
Brown, P., 'Bodies and Minds: Sexuality and Renunciation in Early Christianity', in K.M. Phillips and B. Reay, eds, Sexualities in History: a Reader, New York, 2002, pp.129–140.
Articles
Look for the journal. The catalogue will give you links to the ejournal or the location of the print journal. If there are several links to ejournals, choose one that includes the year of the specific article you want.
Clark, E.A., 'Antifamilial Tendencies in Ancient Christianity', Journal of the History of Sexuality, 5, 1995, pp.356–380.
In this example, the JSTOR database includes the article but other online sources do not go back as far as 1995.
