If you didn’t find the full text of the article you need, you will have to get it another way.

Here are some options you can try.

Search the Web for the article.

Google Scholar may have a free link to the full text of the article.

Click here for more information about using Google Scholar.

Search for a nearby library that owns the journal you need.

WorldCat (found on the Other Libraries page) lets you see if other local public and academic libraries have the journal. Remember to search for the title of the journal, not the title of the article.

Most libraries will allow you to make a copy of an article from a print or microform journal. You probably won’t be able to access an article from an electronic journal or database.

Still can’t find what you need?

The SU Library participates in ILL (interlibrary loan), a system that libraries use to share articles.
