But what if it's not Full Text?
Where are the articles?
For those articles that are not full text, you need to look in two places: First look in the other library databases to
see if one of them has the full text of your article. If you don't find it in one of the databases, use the catalog to search
the Library's print periodical collection. Your library might subscribe to the periodical you need.
For example, In Academic Search Elite, you will find the following citation, but not the full text.
"The World According to Google."
U.S. News and World Report. 5/10/2004, p44.
To get the full text, you would find out if another database has this article full text or see if the Library subscribes
to the periodical you need.
- To look in other databases, you want to find the title or source list. Search this list for the title
of the periodical (U.S. News and World Report), not the title of the article ("The World According to Google.").
This will quickly tell you if the periodical you need is available full text within the database.
- If you don't find it in one of the library's databases, you can search the catalog for the periodical title.
Sometimes, though, you need more information beyond what you find in the databases or printed publications. The Internet
may be a good place to look. So let's talk about using your search skills to get relevant information from the Internet.
