Getting Articles from the Databases
Many of our databases provide full text access to the materials they index. Look for a button or link that says full text.
If the full text is not directly available from the database you are in, you will see a FindIt! button. The FindIt! button searches Catalyst to see if we have access to the article in a different database.
If you click the FindIt! button, one of three things will happen.
1. You will be rerouted directly to the article.
2. You will taken to a Catalyst record for the article, which will provide options for accessing it in a different way.
This article is available in print over at Carleton. I could ask Carleton to send the appropriate volume to Rolvaag so I could read the article.
This article is available online in two different databases. Click your preferred database link to see the article.
3. You will be taken to a Catalyst record that says we do not have access to the article. See "Requesting Materials from Other Libraries" for instructions on how to make a Resource Sharing request for these materials.
