Retrieve copies of articles. Read them closely, and follow up your initial search by retrieving the useful items referenced by authors in their bibliographies. Some of the library's databases offer access to the full text or full page images of periodical articles. As a rule, do not limit your initial search to full text only. The library subscribes to more than 1,700 periodicals, and one of these may be more valuable to your research than the item you retrieve in a full-text database.
Full text means that the text of the article is available in digital format.
Graphics and tables are not automatically included unless the producer has rights to publish them. The full page image option, if available, provides all graphics in the original page layout. You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader software installed on your computer to view these files. Select the correct record from the Search Results screen. If the library owns what you need, write down the call number and go to the periodicals collection on the second floor.
