Find Full Text or Request from Another Library

Many journal articles will be available for you to access full text, but occasionally, you may need to request articles through interlibrary loan. This is a free service provided by McKillop Library. 
If you started your search from the library's homepage, or are accessing a database through the library's website, there are a few ways you can get access to the full text of an article. You'll often see one or more of the following links in the search result list or article description record:

Just click on one of those links, and a you'll be able to view the full text of an article. However, if you don't see one of those icons, you'll likely see one or both of these icons:

The "Find Full Text" link will check other databases for access to the full text of the article, but if we don't have access, it will direct you to an interlibrary loan (ILL) request form. The "Request through interlibrary loan" link will take you directly to the request form.

If you started your search from Google, Google Scholar, or accessed a database without first going through the library's website to get to it, the means of finding the full text of the article are different. Contact a McKillop librarian at 401-341-2289 or use our handy chat service, located on the library's home page.
