Tips if your article is not Full-Text

What if your article has no full text? Here are some options:

1. Discovery Search

  • Enter the article title into the Discovery search box on the library homepage
  • Click the Articles icon then search
  • On the result list be sure to apply the filters to limit results to Trevecca first, then articles

2. Use the A-Z Journal Title search

  • Identifies if the library has the journal; provides database and link to access the full text if available

3. If you know the JOURNAL TITLE or the ARTICLE TITLE

  • Mouse over Find Information on the top menu bar on the library homepage

  • Click the link to E-Journals by Title, and then choose Search (not Browse) when the page opens. 

  • Click the Journals tab to search by journal title (this method quickly tells you if we have the journal)

    • If we have the journal, you may want to change to an Article search to see if we have the specific article you are looking for.
    • Then click on the Article tab to search by article title. 
  • Complete the required information.
  • Finally, click search.
  • If we have the article, you will find links to database results. Be sure you check date ranges, as many databases must deal with publisher embargoes of up to a year or more. That would mean requesting an ILL to obtain the full text. 

4. Interlibrary Loan

Journal article requests can be made through the Interlibrary Loan link on the library homepage.

  • Use it if you cannot find the full text from the library
  • Complete the form, and submit it. There is no cost for this service!
