Q. How do i open an electronic article when i find it?

It depends on which database you are using, but most databases have a link that says "full-text" that will take you to the electronic copy of an article.  If the article is available full text, you may see the PDF icon under the title of the article or to the left of the article title (it depends on which page you are reading).

It is also possible that the article you want is not available electronically, in which case you won't see any link or PDF icon.

You can also search the A-Z List of E-Journals by the title of the journal (not the article title) to see if the journal issue you need is available electronically in any of our databases.

If you're still having trouble finding the full-text of a specific article, please chat with us, email us or call us at 937-512-3004 and a librarian will help you.
