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

Multi-Search and EBSCO Databases

The Multi-Search and EBSCO databases have an "Electronic Full Text" filter under the search box at the top of your search results page. For the Multi-Search, this filter is selected by default, so your search results will automatically be narrowed down to only resources that have full text access options.

To view the full text of an article, click on the "Access options" menu under the article description and choose which available full text method you wish to view. Some frequent full text options include PDF, Online Full Text, and Full Text Finder.

If you click on the article title, you will be taken to the detailed record page that contains a more detailed description of the article. The same "Access options" menu is available on the detailed record page as well.

ProQuest Databases

In ProQuest databases, such as “ABI/INFORM Complete – ProQuest,” the full text filter is on the left side of the search results page, and the access options are listed under the article description in the search results.
