Journal Articles: Finding the Full-Text FAST
Having a hard time finding a full-text journal article? If so, this workshop is for you! We’ll show you how to navigate Journal Finder like an expert, how to interpret your results and locate full-text within a few clicks. The Library may not own everything, so we’ll show you how to utilize the Washington Research Libraries Consortium (WRLC), the premier electronic resource-sharing consortium in the Washington Metropolitan area. Further hone your skills by requesting full-text articles from other institutions outside of Washington, DC through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).
