Have a Question?

Why isn't there full-text of everything when searching in the research databases?

The library does it's best to subscribe to databases that provide the most access to full-text items, but unfortunately, we can't subscribe to every journal. Additionally, some of our databases index content that's available in full text from other databases, or that the library subscribes to directly. That's why it's important to use the Check for Full Text link to look for access across all of our research databases. 

If the library doesn't have access to the item that you're looking for, we can often find it via interlibrary loan. Articles and book chapters are typically received within 24 hours of your request being submitted. Instructions for requesting items via interlibrary loan can be found on our Requesting Materials from Other Libraries guide.
