Finding Full Text of Articles

Not all databases offer full-text articles; some will only offer citations and abstracts. To get to the full-text, try the following options:

  • Look for the Mason Link button
  • Mason Link will open a new window with options for locating the full text of your article, either online or in print.

  • E-Journal Finder
  • The E-Journal Finder searches for the title/name of the journal.

  • If no online version of your article is available, check the Mason Library Catalog for a print copy of the journal

  • If Mason Libraries does not own the journal, search the WRLC ALADIN Catalog. If it is available you may request the journal article via the Consortium Loan Service (CLS) link in the catalog. The item will arrive in 2-3 days.

  • If the journal is unavailable locally, the University Libraries can find a library that owns the title. Fill out an InterLibrary Loan (ILLiad) request form to request the title.
