How Can I Find Out if an Article is Available Online?

If you are searching in a database:

Usually, when the complete text of an article is available online in a Research Database, a link to the text will be included on the article citation screen. Look for the phrase "full text."

If you do not find the phrase "full text," then look for the phrase "find a copy" or "find it" and follow the instructions providing for finding a copy of the article.

Survivor Tip: Use the library's database how-to guides to help you find a copy of an article using the database. These guides are available at the Research Help page.

If you are not in a database, you have another option. That option is the ODU Library's Electronic Journal Finder.
