How do I find the full-text of a specific article?
Answer
There are several ways to find the full text of an article.
1. For a journal article, the fastest method is by searching the title in Google Scholar. Make sure Lucy Scribner Library is listed as one of your libraries. If the full-text is available, you should see a link to the right of the citation.
2. For newspaper and magazine articles or journal articles that you can't find in Google Scholar, use the library's Journals search, which identifies if the library has the full-text, and if so, provides a link to it.
For example, to find a recent article in the Harvard Business Review, search the words Harvard Business Review. From the databases listed, select the database with the appropriate dates of coverage, in this case, Business Source Complete. You can then search within that work for your specific article or look it up by date/volume/issue.
