If you come across a citation to an article and you'd like to track down its full text, follow the steps below:
-
Start Your Research (SYR)1. When searching for the full text of an article, start by searching the "title of an article" (enclosed in "quotation marks") in SYR.
-
Journals/Periodicals Search2. If you're unable to locate the fulltext by searching the article title in SYR, next try searching the "journal title" in the searchable list of print/online journals accessible through the University Libraries.
-
Interlibrary Loan (ILL)3. If the Library does not have print/online access to a journal you need an article from, request a copy of the article via ILL.
