How do I know if an article is available full text online?

Choose a database with a red diamond next to the name, this icon indicates that the database will contain some full text articles.
In the brief list or item record, check for hyperlinks that say: HTML Full Text, PDF Full Text, Linked Full Text, etc.
Click on the "Find It!" button. This will search most of our other databases for electronic full text options for the article. [if there are none, it also provides links to MILLINET to search for print subscriptions, and an online Interlibrary Loan form!]
Or, use the Electronic Periodicals List to locate a Staley Library electronic subscription resource that carries the full text of the desired periodical.
