Finding Full Text Articles While Searching a Database (see record of article from CINAHL database below)
On the results page, look for these links to direct you to the full text of the article:
- PDF Full Text icon (see image above) - this is the scanned image of the article.
- HTML Full Text icon
- Full Text Finder link - this link will direct you to another window to help determine availability.
- InterLibrary Loan link - This usually means that the article is not available at UA. Therefore, we need to submit an InterLibrary Loan request to obtain the article. An InterLibrary Loan account is required to use this free service.
