Question of the Week!

Q: I found the abstract for the article I want. How do I find the full text? It looks like there's a delay on the article in the database...

A: Sometimes publishers put a delay on periodicals in databases to encourage individuals and libraries to purchase the print version of the periodical.

Here are your options:
  • The library does have some print periodicals. You can search for them by journal title in the catalog or see this list.
  • It is possible that a different database has the full text. Check the E-journal Portal. Need more info about using the E-journal Portal?
  • If you have time, there is also the option of interlibrary loan.

Don't forget, you can also ask your librarian!
