Finding or requesting full-text articles

From a library database

Many library article databases will include the full text of articles. Look for a "Full text" (PDF or HTML) or "Access options" icon/button.

If a PDF or another full text option is not available, look for a "Full Text Finder" button to see if the article is available in another database.

Or, you may see a link to request the article via our Interlibrary Loan/ILLiad service, which may take 2 to 3 business days. For more information, see

Request Articles and Books page
For information on how to request items depending on your campus or location

From another online source

Many articles that you find online may require payment (aka paywall) to download the article. In many cases the Library can get the article for you for free to keep you from having to pay out of pocket. For more information, please visit:
