Find an Article You Like |
| |
After conducting a search in an index, determine which article/s
you want. In some cases, a full text (though not necessarily
full image) version of the article may be available on the
computer. These are some links you may see: |
- View HTML Full Text (FirstSearch)
- Text with graphics (InfoTrac)
- View Graphic (ProQuest)
|

Is it available full text or not? |
| |
- If you see a link indicating some kind of full
text availability, then click on that link and the article
will be displayed. Email, print or save the article.
- If there is no link within the citation, the full
text is not available. Go to the next step.
|
| 3. |
Even if the article is not available
in the database you’re using, it could still be available
in another database, so check the list of all journals
available full text in our various index databases, available
at: http://dw4pu2zd4g.search.serialssolutions.com/. |

Even if the article is not available
in any of our databases, it could still be somewhere in
the library. |
| |
- Open a new window in your browser (hold down your
control key and push on “N” to open a new window)
- Go to the TomCat (online library catalog) web site.
- Click on Journal
Title search.
- Type in the name of the journal (Not the
title of the article).
|
| 5. |
If the library has the journal,
a record will come up indicating where in the library the
journal can be found and in what format it is.
Note: Woodhouse Library contains journals in five different
formats: print (current periodicals), microfilm, microfiche,
bound, and electronic. |
- Determine in which format your article is by looking
at the range of dates listed in the record for each format.
- Go to the appropriate location within the library
and locate the journal you need.
|
| 6. |
If neither the library nor the
online indexes contain your journal, then you may
request a copy of the article you need through interlibrary
loan. There is no charge for this service, which
can take from 5-10 business days. |
