Speed Your Search for Full-text Articles

Published: 11/15/2005

When looking for full-text articles, rather than surfing the Web or searching dozens of databases, start with Citation Linker. Using the Article tab, type in as much information about the article as available, including year, volume, page numbers, and author. Many publications are linked so that you will be directed immediately to the article. For others, you may be asked to select the appropriate journal, such as when there is more than one with a similar title. Often the article is available as a PDF and can be downloaded for personal use.
