Clark Libraries offers many periodical databases to locate articles. Many of the articles are full text but some of the articles are citations only. However, you may be able to locate the full text article by using the "Access Options" button when searching in EBSCOhost databases or the "Find It" button in ProQuest and other databases.
Here are two examples of what the "Access Options" and "Find It" buttons look like in EBSCOhost and ProQuest databases:
Once you click on "Check for full text options" or "Find It" you will be redirected to the Clark College Libraries Catalog.
Notice "Fulltext available" shows up in green. This indicates that you have access to the full text. In the "View It" section below you can click on any of the database names that show up to access the article. In the example below, you can click on EBSCOhost Academic Search Premier, EBSCOhost CINAHL with Full Text, or EBSCOhost PsycARTICLES.
Sometimes the database links may take you to a journal home page or an error page instead of directly to your article. You may have to re-search in the database using your article's title to find the full text. If you have any problems accessing the full text, please ask a librarian!
Sometimes we don't have access to the full text article instantly but you can request the article using Interlibrary Loan. Here is what that would look like in the library catalog:
Once you sign in using your username and password, you will see a link to request the article in the Get It section. (see below). Click the link and fill in your information to request the article.
If you do not see an option to sign in, you will need to search for the article's title again in the library catalog using the Expand My Results option. Watch this short video to see how.
You also may be able to find the full text of an article online. This video shows you how: Find full text PDFs on the open web.
If you have any problems requesting the full text, please ask a librarian!
