FAQ: How do I find articles with full text online?

The Multi-Search on the library home page and many of the databases listed on the A-Z Database List have an option to limit your search to full text online resources only.

When using the Multi-Search;

1. Enter your keywords
2. Click “Search”
3. Then, look to the left side of the screen where there is a column of options listed under “Refine Results.”
4. Click on the option “Full Text.”
