Highlight text to annotate it

A lot of times, when you're searching online for articles, it will appear but it
won't give you the whole thing as a free PDF.
It'll just provide the abstract and then it'll ask you to pay for full-text
access
Now here's a way to check to see if the Library databases have the article for
free.
Links to the article in the database appear automatically if you're
using Google Scholar and you go into settings
and then you click on Library links and if you put in LaGuardia community college
here you check it off, when it appears below and you click save.
This is useful because it will automatically search the databases when
use Google Scholar. But in other cases when you're just trying to find the
full text of something
go in and look in the at the citation details. The name of the journal,
the issue
and the date.
If you copy the name of the journal and then you go to the Library home page,
you click on Find articles and books online, then click on Find a Specific
Journal, Magazine or Newspaper. This is the way you could see if we've got the
back issues of something that you need.
I'm going to paste in the title,
hit search,
and it will show me if the journal is available in full text for
these date ranges. Now we wanted a 2002 article, so I'm going to click on
this one
and I can do a search within this publication just by putting in the key words
of the name of the author or the name of the title and it will only search this
journal.
Or i can go straight to that volume and issue. I want 2002,
volume 53, issue 4.
And then I scroll through and look at all of the contents of this
particular issue.
And here it is available and full text.
