Access the Full Text of an Article

At the top of the article page, there are options for accessing the article through Milner Library.

If there is full text through Agricola, there will be PDF or Online Full Text links.

If there are no full text links in Agricola, choose the Access options dropdown and select the Full text via LibKey Link option to see if it is available through any other Milner databases. 

If LibKey finds full text access through another Milner database or other subscription resource, it will show a LibKey page with options to download the PDF and access the article page in the subscription resource that has it.

If LibKey can't find full text access through Milner, it will instead provide a Find It page for the item.The Find It page may sometimes have other online access links or a listing of Mlner's print volumes of the journal the article is in. If there isn't online or print access in Find It, choose Sign in in the yellow box that says "Please sign in to check for any request options."

When you choose Sign In next to it and login with your ULID and password, it should give you a link to request the article via interlibrary loan (ILL).

Interlibrary Loan allows you to send a request for an article to our Interlibrary Loan staff. If they can find a copy of the article, you will get a PDF of it in your ILL account. This may take 5-7 days but articles often come much sooner.
