When an article shows up in a database as "linked full text" it means that the Lewis University Library does not have access to the full text of the article in that database.

To see if the Library has a copy of the article in our collection, go to the Library website and enter the title of the article in the Primo search box in quotation marks "".

If we have access to the full text of the article, it will show up in the Primo search results as "Available Online".

However, if the results show as "Check for Available Services", or "No Online Access," then unfortunately, we do not have access to the full text of the article in our collection. In this case, clicking on the title in Primo, and then clicking on the "Request via Interlibrary Loan" form will allow you to request articles through interlibrary loan.  You can also see if an article is available by scrolling to the bottom of an entry in Primo and clicking on the "Search in Google Scholar" link to see if a free copy is available through Google Scholar.
