Many of the databases that the University Library subscribes to include the full text of articles. However, some others may only include citation information (ex: name of the article, article author(s), journal name, page numbers, etc.) or abstracts (article summaries). If you find the citation information of an article that you want, but it is listed as not available in full-text in the database that you're searching, we may still have access to it through a different database subscription, in print, or through interlibrary loan (ILL).
When you are searching in a database, click on the yellow Find it! button 
to see if your article is available from another source. A new window will open indicating if and how the library has access to your article.
Available online
The library has electronic access to your article. There may sometimes be multiple database options listed. These all lead to the same article. Click on Go beside the database name to view the full-text article.
Available in print
The library owns a physical copy of your article. The library location and call number will be listed. Click on Go to see the journal's full catalogue record. From the catalogue record, you can find out if the issue containing your article is in library or currently checked out; request an article scan; request the item for pickup; or find out more publication information about the journal.
Not accessible through the USask Library
The library does not have access to your article, either in print or through our electronic subscriptions. You can complete an interlibrary loan (ILL) request at this stage to have the article sent to you for free from a different library. Click on the Go button and then fill out the online form on the following page. This is a free service for all USask students, faculty and staff.
Alternatively, you can also try a web search for your article in Google Scholar to see if there's a legal open-access version.
