How do I access the full text of an article?
Answer
Search the library catalogue LibrarySearch, or a database. Once you've identified an article of interest, there are three main ways to access the full text:
1. PDF or Online file
You may see a link to the PDF Full Text or Online Full Text version of the article. Click that link for the full text of the article.
2. Full Text Finder
If the Full Text Finder link is present, it means that the full text is not available in the database you searched, but it may be available in another database. Click on the Full Text Finder link to search our other resources; if the full text is available in another resource, a list of one or more locations will be presented.
3. Request Item through Interlibrary Loan
If you see this option, it means that the Library doesn't have immediate access to the full text of the article. Click on the link to request an Interlibrary Loan (in EBSCO databases, the link is called "Access Now"). If the Interlibrary Loan link doesn't appear, use this form to request the item.
