Getting the Full Text of Articles

Once you have found an article in a database you can get to the full text options in one of the following ways:

Look for a full text link in the database. Each database displays it a bit differently, but here are some of the most common forms:

Use the PDF file with the Adobe Acrobat symbol , when possible, as that will recreate the pages as they were in the original publication including images

If there is no full text link - look for the   button. Usually it is right in the search results, but sometimes, like in ProQuest, you have to click on the title of the article and then look for the button.

button will tell you if we have this full text online, or in a print version, or if you will have to request it from interlibrary loan. Here is what the page might look like:

Links to full text online appear under the heading Find full text online

If available, the location and call number will appear under Find full text in print

If we don’t have full text online or in print then get it elsewhere

If location and call number do not appear, we probably don’t have this in print

You can still get it from another library through our Interlibrary Loan service

How do I...

• Find a journal, magazine, newspaper by its title
• Find articles on course reserve
• Request articles through interlibrary loan
• Identify popular vs. scholarly articles
• Cite articles (Writing Style Guides)
• Connect from off campus
• E-mail PDF articles
• Request journals for purchase

How do I bookmark an article or e-book? If you have created a bookmark to an article or e-book while on-campus and then from off-campus you find that it has been blocked or you received an "Access Denied" error, use this utility to add a special authentication prefix to the URL so you can gain access as if you were still on campus. If you are off campus, you will be asked to enter your Bronco NetID and password. To use this utility JavaScript must be enabled in your browser. Keep in mind that sites on the University Libraries' Databases by Title web page with a icon will require you to enter your Bronco NetID and password if you are off campus.

1. Copy and paste the non-proxied URL of the article or ebook here: 2. Click this to add the authentication prefix: 3. Copy and use the resulting link:
