Once you have set your search term, you can limit results to retrieve only those articles that are full-text.  Look to the left of the search bar and check the box for full text. 

If you have run a search without first limiting for full text and you see an article citation and abstract that would be perfect for your topic, but there is not obvious link to a pdf or html version, click on the SFX icon, or the link that says Find Full Text. 

If there is an electronic version of that article in another database you will be provided with a link to the article.  If there is no electronic copy available and the library owns that journal, you will be taken to the catalog to determine if our holdings include the journal in which the article was published.

Finally if there is no electronic or print copy of the article you require, you can request an interlibrary loan (ILL) for that article.  The link provided will automatically populate the form.  You will have to supply your contact information at the bottom of the form and submit.  You should receive the article as a pdf in your email in about 3-4 business days.

Ask a librarian if you need further assistance.
