There may be times when you already know the article you need. You just need to find out if the library has full text access. Here's a quick way to check:
If we have access, it should be the first record in the results list. Click the Article icon to connect to the full text.
You may run into a situation where you are asked to pay for full text. Don't do it! The library can usually get the article for you for free. Please Ask a Librarian for help if you run into this problem.
Finding full text can be a little confusing. If you need help or have questions, please Ask a Librarian for assistance. Someone will get back to you ASAP.

Step 5. Be sure to select the Email it to me option under "Delivery Options"
Step 6. Enter information about the item you are requesting in the "Item Information" box. Please include as much information as you can.
Step 7. Select the I agree to abide by US Copyright Law option
