Date: April 10, 2005
 

In celebration of National Library Week, the library will be posting messages that we hope will inform and encourage you to use the library in new ways!

The library is constantly adding online journal access.  Now it is easier than ever to find the full text of the articles you need.  

If you are wondering which database has full text for a specific journal, check E-Journal Portal

Click here to enter the E-Journal PortalE-Journal Portal: direct access to SPU's full text journal collection.
Journal Indexing: see what database indexes a specific journal title. 

Some journals have full text in many databases:

     African arts 
from 04/01/1990 to present in Academic Search Premier, MasterFILE Premier, MAS Online, MAS Ultra - Public Library Edition, MAS Ultra - School Edition and ProQuest Research Library
from 06/01/2001 to present in Literature Resource Center
 While others are only available in one:
    FASEB journal
from 07/01/1987 to 12 months ago in Highwire Press

If you are already in a database searching on your topic, almost all of the databases that we subscribe to have a click button to "Check for Full Text":

For example if you are searching Academic Search Premier and found the following article:
