Remote Access:
Nearly all of our electronic materials are accessible from off-campus. You may need to install the
campus VPN client to access some databases.
Full Text Databases:
Full text databases provide the entire article, either in PDF, HTML or another full text format. The trade off is that typically these databases are smaller, searching fewer journals and aren't as comprehensive.
Indexed Databases:
Indexed databases do not provide the full articles. Instead they provide a description, i.e. abstract of the article, a citation, sometimes list all articles cited within the target article. It is up to the searcher to get the full article if they want to see it.
Finding Articles with Citations
When you have a citation, you can either get the article in an online form or in paper. To get an
online article go to the Library's Journal Search.
