Q. How do I obtain a full text version of an article if it only offers the abstract?

Click on the Check Availability link.  If we have access to the full text in print, it will take you to a link to our catalog.  Click the Journal link to see whiat issues we have and where they are.  If we have access to the full text in another database, click the Article link, and you should be sent to the full text of the article.  If we do not have access to the full text in any format, click the ILLiad link and make a request for the article from another library.  It will be emailed to you.  If you have never used ILLiad before, you will need to enter your personal info.  Once you have done that, go back to the database page, click Check Availability again, and click ILLiad again.  The info about the article you need will be entered into the form for you.  If you have a specific example of an article you need, please send me the info and I will give you specific info about obtaining that article.

If you have questions, please write back or come see a librarian at the reference desk.
