Finding Articles In the Databases
The databases are where you go to search for either articles
or for article citations.
DATABASES
FULL TEXT ARTICLES
• Many of the databases contain ARTICLES IN FULL TEXT
• However, a FULL TEXT database does not mean that everything in the database is available in FULL TEXT
If an article is not FULL TEXT in a database you may be
able to find it FULL TEXT in another database.
How do I do that?
I’m glad you asked!
You can ask our “Webridge”
software to check our catalog and all
of our other databases for you.
HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES…
EBSCO DATABASES
Simply click on the “Check for Full Text” link and it will direct you to the
article if it is available.
FIRSTSEARCH DATABASES
1. Click on the link “See more details for locating this item”, then…
2. Click on Find Full Text
COMPENDEX DATABASE

2. Click on “Innovative Interfaces Webridge”
For JSTOR

2. Click on the “Webridge” Icon
Article Not Available

Articles are typically available within 24-48
hours during the weekdays.
