What is Full Text Finder?

The Full Text Finder button helps you find the full text of an article when the database you are searching does not provide a direct PDF or HTML full-text link. 

When you see the Full Text Finder button, click it to check whether SHU Library has access to the article in another database or online resource. 

After clicking Full Text Finder, one of the following things will happen: 

  1. You may be taken directly to the full text of the article. 

  1. You may be taken to a page with a link to the full text in another library database. 

  1. If the full text is not available online through SHU Library, you may see a Request this item link so you can request the article through interlibrary loan. 

 

Full Text Finder is useful when you find an article citation but do not immediately see a PDF, HTML full text, or direct article link.
