Find the Full Text

Whatever you find in LVC's databases, you can get a copy of it--one way or another.  Most databases will have an ACCESS OPTIONS box below the citation.  Clicking on this will provide you with one of several choices: 

  • PDF
  • Online Full Text
  • Looking for Full Text
  • Access Now PDF

PDF, Online Full Text, Access Now PDF provide full-text access. 

Looking for Full-Text searches for the full-text of that article in LVC's other databases. 

If it finds that article, it'll provide you with links that will take you to the full-text.  If it fails, it will provide you with a GET ARTICLE link, which will enable you to request a copy of that article from another library.  With GET ARTICLE, you'll receive an email with a link to the PDF of the article, generally within 1-3 days.
