C&I 110 (Shaw): Locating Articles

Can't Find It?

Determining whether or not we have the articles in a database or in the library can be confusing.
We have a tool that can help you by using the FIND IT button or link in the database.

This will tell you 3 things.

  1. We have the full text in another database.
  2. We have a print copy in the library.
  3. You can order the item from another library.

If you get frustrated, contact me or the Reference Desk for help.

Find It @ WIU

When you are looking at search results in Soc Abs, notice the Find it! button. You must click on it to see whether or not we have an article.

 

Example of an article that is available at WIU:

  • Full Text:  An online version that you can print off; just click on the Go button.

  • Holdings:  A print version.  It says we own 1986-2003, which includes the year you need.  The citation in Soc Abs is all you need to find the article on the 3rd floor shelves.  Journals are shelved by title, in this case Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology. Then use the date and page numbers listed in the Soc Abs citation.



Example of an article that we do not have immediate access to here at WIU.  You would need to request a copy through Interlibrary Loan:
