There are several ways to get to the full text of a specific article.
Searching a Database or Google Scholar
If you are searching in a library database (or Google Scholar) and the full article is available through that particular database, you will see a direct link to the document.
When the database you are searching does not have the full text of the article, look for the "Find This for Me" link (this should appear in most but not all databases). Clicking on "Find This for Me" will pull up another window that indicates whether we have electronic access to the article via another database or e-journal subscription.
When the Libraries have no electronic access to an article, "Find This for Me" also provides a link to the Interlibrary Loan page. Interlibrary Loan can get a digital copy of the article for you from another library. You will be notified via email when the article is ready for you to download.
Searching by Citation
When you aren't searching in a database and simply have a citation in hand, the easiest thing to do is to search the UNL Libraries' catalog by the title of the journal (not the article title). The catalog will indicate whether or not we have electronic access to that journal. Again, if electronic access is not available, you can use Interlibrary Loan to request that a PDF be sent to you.
When we don't have the article you need in our collection, we will get it for you via Interlibrary Loan--in most cases, there is no cost involved, however, if there will be a cost, we will contact you before proceeding.
