Finding full text when Academic Search Premier doesn't have it: Journal
Finder
Sometimes Academic Search Premier will only provide the citation
and / or abstract for an article, and not the full text. If the article
you want isn't available, check to see if the library has access to it by
looking for this link: Check for full text availability of this item.
Clicking this link will open a new window and do a search for the journal
you want in Journal Finder, Jackson Library's guide to the magazines, journals
and other periodicals available to you through our system.
Journal Finder will tell you if:
-
the journal is available online, or
- the journal is available in print in the library.
Tips for using Journal Finder:
- Dates are important. Sometimes we have some of a journal in full text online,
but not all. Make a note of the year in which your article was published,
so that you can verify that it falls sometime between the "full text
begins" and "full text ends" dates.
- If there is nothing under "full text ends" that means we have
access to that journal "up to the present."
- Sometimes you will notice when using Journal Finder that the article title
will be underlined in the "available online" display. Clicking this
link is a quick way to get to the exact title you need, but it is not 100%
reliable. If it doesn't work, click on the journal title instead and browse
to the article you need.
- If you can't find your article online, it might be in print.
If the article you need is not in Journal Finder, don't despair! There are
other options. Ask a librarian for more help!
