Q. How do I get an article that I want to read from a library database?

From within library databases you can obtain full-text articles using the Request this item, Find It @ Millersville, and full-text links.

To obtain the article you are interested in from within one of our databases, look below the article information (title, abstract, etc.) for a link or click on the "Access options" drop-down box within Library Search to see your options.

There are 3 main links that you might see:

1. PDF/HTML/Online full text 
   • Click these links and you will open the article directly
   • Save/download the article
2. Find it @ Millersville
   • Click on the link, and it will try to connect you directly to the article from another website
   • Look for a link to a PDF, click the link, and download the article
3. Request this item
   • Click on the link, and it will fill out a form to request your article from another library
   • Check the information and submit the form to request your article

If you have trouble with any of the links, please let us know via our Ask a Librarian options on our homepage (www.library.millersville.edu). Additionally, see the brief video and links below for more help.
