Research Tools: Summary.

Finding Scholarly Articles in Articles Plus
Scholarly articles have seven parts: title, authors, abstract, introduction, article text, conclusion, and works cited. Once you type in what you are looking for into articles plus, the results of your search can be narrowed by clicking on "full text", then on scholarly journals, then update. Some of the articles are in PDF, some are not. Articles can be emailed, printed, or saved on a drive.

Finding Full Text From Citation
When finding the full text from a citation, identify the author, publication date, and the title. Then go to the library homepage, click on Alice, change to periodical title then type in the title. The results will then pop up and you find what matches what you are looking for with the publication dates. If there is no full text, you can go to the homepage and go to services, and fill out the request to find the full text.

How to Get a Book from Ohio Link
If Ohio University does not have the book that you are looking for, you can request a book through Ohio link. Click on search Ohio link, and it will search to see if there are copies available from other schools in the state.
