Q. I frequently find article citations searching the web, but the websites say I have to pay. How do I get the full-text?

You can search Google and find your way to the public websites of many academic journal publishers and view their citations and abstracts. Here is a very short list of leading academic publishers and there are many others:

These publisher websites will say you don't have access to the full-text articles and will ask you to pay for the article. Don't!

Here's how to find your article using Discovery GALILEO, or else, place an ILL request for the article you want.

• Go to the Library's homepage.
• Paste the article's title in the Discovery GALILEO search field and click Search.
• When the search result opens, scan the list for the article you want. It should be very close to the top.
• Click on the Access Options button to go directly to the full-text, when it's available.
• Otherwise, click on the Full-Text Finder link. 
• Full-Text Finder will tell you whether full-text is directly available in some other online service the Library licenses.
• Or It will also show a link to Obtain the Article through ILL (Interlibrary Loan).
• Click that link to place an ILL request. (For more about ILL and Full-Text Finder, watch this tutorial.)
