What if Full Text is Not Available

Finding the Periodical That Has Your Article

In EBSCOhost and ProQuest, when full text is not available, there will be a link available for you to check to see if full text is in other databases.

EBSCOhost citation with the Journal Linker highlighted saying "Check to See if Full Text is in Chabot's Other Databases"

After taking down the citation, click on the link. It takes you to our Journal Portal and you will see if it is available in Chabot Library's collection, or if it is available in another database. Below is how such a title would appear if it is available in either.

New York Times last one month available at Periodicals Desk, 1851 to 2001 in microfilm, June 1980 to present in LexisNexis Academic, and last 7 days in Public WWW Journals.

In the above example, you would find the New York Times at the Periodicals desk, but only for the past month (as of January 1, 2010, Chabot discontinued getting the New York Times in print). But articles are available in LexisNexis Academic from June 1, 1980 to the present, and you can then conduct a search for the article clicking on the Lexis-Nexis link. If you did not go directly to an article but to a screen such as one listed above, and a database is listed, you will either need to search by article title (as in LexisNexis) or by volume number and year (as in EBSCOhost, ProQuest, or a journal article web site).
