Aubie Asks @ the Libraries! Have you ever been searching a library database
and found the perfect article and you just can’t get to it? This video will show you
how to locate the full text of articles. First, you may do a search and find the link
to a PDF or HTML file. This takes you straight to the full text. Or you may do a search and
not find the link to a PDF or HTML file. In this case, click on Article Linker. You will
then be taken to a page where you’ll find information about the article. Here you will
find a link to the full text. In Scenario #3, you’ll again need to click
on Article Linker. You’ll see that there is an electronic copy of the article available.
You’ll just need to click on a link to get to it. You’ll then be taken to the journal
website where you may choose the volume and issue that you need.
In the next scenario, you’ll again click on Article Linker. There is no electronic
copy but there may be a print copy available. There is a print copy! But in order to find
it, you will need to know the floor and the call number.
In the last scenario, you again must click on Article Linker. There is no electronic
version but there may be a print version. Well, there’s not. You do have one more
option though and that’s to place a Interlibrary Loan request for the article.
So don’t get discouraged when looking for the full text. Try Article Linker or AskaLibrarian.
