To search for articles related to your topic, use one of our databases such as PubMed, CINAHL Complete, Embase, Google Scholar, PsycINFO, or Web of Science. You can view all our databases on our databases list. To learn more about using databases effectively, visit our Databases How-To Guide.

When searching our databases you should expect to see our Find It! buttons.

Clicking these will take you to a new page with options to obtain the full-text article, as shown below. You will need to authenticate using your myKUMC credentials if you are off campus.

If we have access to the article you will see a link(s) to access it under Get Article Through These Resources.

If there's something not working as expected, use the Report a Problem with this Resource link at the bottom of the page.

If we don't have access to the article, you will see a link to Request this item from our interlibrary loan service.  Wichita-based faculty, staff and students should use the "Wichita campus users - request this item here" link.

You will also see the option to Search the Catalog for this journal. This link will open a new tab and will search our print collection for the journal.

If you already have an article citation, use our Full Text Finder to locate the article within our collection. After entering in at least one of the required fields, click the Submit button at the bottom. Just like the Find It! pages shown in the table above, you will be presented with options to access the full text or request it through interlibrary loan. You will need to authenticate using your myKUMC credentials if you are off campus.
