 you are searching in one of the databases and DO NOT find any references for FULL TEXT:

EAMPLE of link with FULL TEXT

These links should take you to the article itself or it will tell you that Drury doesn't have that in any other databases. A link is offered for every database the article is available in. Once you are in the database, if you are given the choice between HTML and PDF, choose the PDF version. The PDF version is similar to getting a photocopy of the article and easier to cite in your paper.

If the article is NOT availible you will have several search options:

Some of these will take you to an availible copy of the article, to a similiar article or to a similiar subject. The page will also give you the option to search for other works by the author. Unfortunate, this only searchs the authors last name and is usually not very helpful.

Library Catalogs

These links appear if Drury Library owns the journal in print or if you are looking for a book. For a journal, the library may or may not have the article you are looking for. A book may or may not be available through Drury or Swan.

Interlibrary Loan

In the event that you can't locate a full text article in the databases or in print, try order the article from Interlibrary Loan. Keep in mind the turnaround time can be up to two weeks.
