How to Find Full Text
Find a citation or abstract? Try searching E-Journals to see if it may be available in full-text format in another database.
Plug in as much of the information as you have, and the Citation Linker will search through our journals and databases to find the full text.
Still can't find it? Send all of the citation information information in this short form and the library will try to find it through Interlibrary Loan.
Interlibrary Loan requests can take 2-5 days for electronically received copies (typically articles, chapters, or sections from books 50 pages and under) and 3-10 days for books, videos, and anything else we get through the mail.
Sorry, we are unable to borrow textbooks through interlibrary loan.
