When searching a database:
1. If you don't find a link to the full-text in the database, use the Find It button to search all MSU databases for the full-text.
2. If we don't have the full-text online, click on the link provided to see if the MSU Library owns a print copy. This will search the Online Catalog for the journal.
3. Examine any holdings statements to determine if we have the volume and issue that the article appears in.
4. If we don't have the article online OR in print, use Interlibrary Loan to get it from another library.
When you just have a citation:
1. Copy and paste the name of the article title into the library's Discovery database.
2. Follow the steps above to determine if the library has the article you need.
Note:
Many authors, especially federal government employees, post versions of their articles online. So you may be able to find what you need through a Google or Google Scholar search.
