What is
all about?
When searching in one of the FAU Libraries electronic
resources,
provides direct links from a citation in one database to
the full text of that article (when available) in another FAU Libraries
database.
The direct link may take you to the
full text article within an electronic journal or an electronic book.
will also link you to the FAU Libraries catalog so that you can check to see if FAU owns the item. If we don't and the
full-text is not available online, you may request it through Interlibrary
Loan (ILLiad).
Have an article citation and need to find
the "full-text"?
***IMPORTANT: Write down the complete
citation (article title, journal title, year of publication, author of
article, page number(s).*****
-
-
Type in the name of the JOURNAL (not
the article) into the box and click the "search" button. If the
journal title appears alone or in a list, look for the data ranges
next to the journal title.
-
Does the year of publication of your
citation fall within the date ranges? If so, click the blue database
name to browse by journal volume number for your article.
-
Sometimes you will be prompted with a
search box instead. Type the name of the article in the box and
proceed with your search.
NOTE: If you have followed the steps above,
and the citation's journal volume is not "full-text online," then check to
see if we have the journal in print.
-
-
Select "Journal Title" using the
drop-down menu and type the name of the JOURNAL (not the article)
into the box.
-
Click the "Search" button.
-
If you see the name of the journal in
blue, click on it to see if we have your specific volume number and
year.
-
If we do, write down the call number,
locate the journal in the library, and make a photocopy of the
article.
NOTE: If the article is neither in the
library nor full-text online, please order the article through
Interlibrary Loan.
