Research Toolkit

When you have a citation for an article, here’s how to find the full-text:

1. Search for the article title in LibrarySearch or another library database.
2. Follow the link to full-text in the results list. It might be labeled Access Now, Full-Text, HTML, or PDF.
3. If you don’t find the article in the database:
   • Go to the Journals list.
   • Search for the journal title.
     NOTE: If you’re not sure what the journal title is, consult How to Read a Citation.
   • Follow the link to full-text in the results list.

To search for and request a journal article, you'll need to be able to identify the bibliographic information in its citation.

For items we don’t own, most library databases provide a link to the Interlibrary Loan request form. If you fill out the form, we’ll try to get the item from another library. This is a service we provide at no cost to you. To go directly to the Interlibrary Loan request form, log in to Illiad:
