A full text article is one that you can access immediately through a link that says "PDF Full Text," "HTML Full Text," "View Full Text at…", “Full Text Finder” or something similar.

There are several ways to find and access full text articles.

Search the "Quick Search" box on the Library's homepage

This is an all-inclusive search of resources Webster University Library subscribes to or owns.

One click searches the majority of our resources!

On the left side of your results page you can limit to full text by checking “Full Text Online”   

Your results are now limited to full text articles, ebooks, streaming audio, and streaming videos*. Click on any of the full-text links to be taken to the full-text article. Below are examples of full-text links:

•  
•  [publisher], e.g.
•  

As mentioned, ebooks will also be included in your results. The link for ebooks looks like this

*Use the Source Type limiter on the left of the results page to limit to text only, like Academic Journals, Magazines, or Ebooks, if desired.

Search a specific database

Searching the "Quick Search" will search the majority of our resources, but you may also choose to search our databases individually via the big blue "Databases" button on our homepage. Clicking on that button will provide a list of every database the library subscribes to. Most of our databases provide access to full text articles. 

Search a specific journal

You may also choose to search the list of journals, magazines and newspaper titles the library subscribes. The big blue "Digital Content" button on our homepage will do this for you! Search for a publication title to find a list of where you can access full text of the publication, and what years are available in full-text.

Note - this feature searches publication titles, not article titles or text of articles. 

Interlibrary Loan

If you find an article to which the library does not have access to full text, you will see a link that says “Request via Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad)”.

While we cannot guarantee we can get the article, we will attempt to get it for you from other libraries around the world. For more information on interlibrary loan see our FAQ linked below.
