Inter-library Loan

Databases frequently provide full-text for many articles but in some cases the full text is not available.

In order to get an article that is not available online in full text you can request the article by submitting an Interlibrary Loan Article Request Form.

A link to this form can be found on the library website in the right-hand column under Popular Pages.

Searching Article Databases

Databases are the most efficient way to find quality articles. It's important to use the most useful database for your particular topic.

Many of the article citations include a link to the full text of the article, in either PDF or HTML format.. If there is no full text link for an article, click on FIND IT to discover if the article is available in full text in another of our databases. If there is no FIND IT or full text link, click on the Interlibrary Loan link to request the article.

The Search Tips on the Books page are also used for database searching.
