How do I Use A to Z Full Text Finder to find the full-text of an article?

Answer

Some databases are citation only, or you might have a citation from a bibliography. Full text may be available in a different database or print journal.

To find a journal:

  • Go to FullText Finder (Was Journals A to Z). Enter the journal title to search by journal title.  (You can also browse through the index by using the alphabetical links given).
  • If Walla Walla University Library has the journal then it will appear in the list.
  • Under the journal title you will see links to take you to an online database, to online access through the publisher, or to the library's catalog where you can find information on the library's subscription to the journal. Note dates and volume/issue numbers to be sure the article you are looking for is available.
  • If the title is a print subscription, go downstairs to the Periodicals Department on the lower level of the library. Most journals are shelved alphabetically in the department, but some titles are shelved elsewhere. So if you can't find the title, ask a staff member in the department. Photocopy machines are available to make a copy of the article.
  • If the library doesn't have the article you are looking for, you may also request it through interlibrary loan.

Along with Full Text Finder you may use Google Scholar from the library's home page to help locate full-text of a specific article
