If you found your article from one of the library databases look for a link that says "HTML text," or "PDF".   If the article only shows an abstract but not full-text:

• Sometimes there are publisher time restrictions (magazine/journal issues that have just been published)
• Authors may not have given permission for their articles to be included. 
• Very old articles may not have been digitized. 

Try one of these strategies:

1. To find the full-text of an article from a database look on the article result page for one of the following links:

• Check the JCC Libraries' Catalog for print availability to see if we have the print journal in the library.
• Look for an icon or link under the article in your result list - it may look something like this - or Check for full-text availability.  Click on the link to see if the article is available from a different database.

2. If you have found an article through an Internet search but the full-text is only available through subscription, login to Primo from the library homepage and click on Journal Lookup.  You can search by journal title or ISSN to see if it is available through the JCC Libraries' databases or print collection.

3. if you have a full or partial citation for an article you can also use Citation Lookup in Primo to find the full-text of the article.

4. If you are unable to find the full-text using any of these strategies, you can send for the article through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).   Ask a reference librarian or someone at the circulation desk if you are unsure how to complete the process.
