Many times you'll get to something that looks interesting but all you'll get is the citation and brief record, not the article itself.  Databases provide citations to sources even if the full-text is not included in that particular database because it's useful to know what resources exist.  When the full-text is not directly connected to the citation in that database, we offer an option to "check for full-text" or "FindIt" that compares the citation to what we have in full-text available in ANY of our databases and provides a link to the full-text when it is available somewhere else.  When none of our databases have the full-text electronically available, we offer you an option to request the material through our Interlibrary Loan system, ILLiad.
