If the database you are using doesn't provide the full text for an article directly, remember to take these 3 steps IN SEQUENCE to search for a copy in the Case Libraries system.

IF, AND ONLY IF, these 3 steps don't provide a way to get a copy of the article, see the box below for information on our inter-library loan (ILL) service.

This button will appear in a record in the database you are using when direct access to the full text is unavailable. Click it to see if our system can automatically locate access to the article through one of our resources.
