Finding the Full-Text of an Article

Step 1

  1. From a library database (https://iu.libguides.com/az.php), search for your topic. 
  2. Click the access options, or PDF, or HTML.
  3. If there is no full-text option (PDF or HTML), click "Find It" or "Find it @ IU Indianapolis."

Step 2

  1. "Find it" will open a new page. If we have the full-text in another database, you should see a link to either the article itself or the journal under "Links to Content."
  2. If there is no link to the article or the journal, click on the IU Indianapolis University Library InterLibrary Services link (or the link to your home library, IU School of Dentistry Library, Ruth Lilly Medical Library, Ruth Lilly Law Library) and submit a request.
  3. In about 24 hours to 3 days, you'll receive an email with a link to the full-text of the article.

Finding the full-text of an article from a citation

When you have found a promising source in a print bibliography or footnotes, the foolproof method for getting access to the full-text is to search for the Journal TITLE in the Electronic Journals List (search box below). Do not search for the article title, do not waste your time searching JSTOR or other databases.
