Where's the Full Text?

Are you in an article database?  Click on the NYU icon:       next to a citation.  This will give you options for:

  • linking to full text of the article if available
  • checking the Bobcat catalog for hard copy holdings of the article
  • ordering a copy from Interlibrary loan, if not available full text or hard copy


Do you have a citation for an article obtained from another source, and you want to locate full text?

  • Search Ejournals/Ebooks for your journal title.
  • You can also search the journal title in the Bobcat catalog. Often, older citations are available hard copy in the library, if not available as an electronic journal.
  • If the journal title is not found in one of the above, you may order a copy of the article via Interlibrary Loan.
