How do I get the full text of nursing journal articles?

Answer

You found the perfect journal article in CINAHL or another database—now how do you get the full text?

The library subscribes to databases (like CINAHL, the database of choice for nursing students) through which we provide full text access to hundreds of nursing journals (as well as other types of journals like physical therapy or medicine), available to you free of charge. If an article is available in full text, you'll see ways to access full text options (such as PDF, online, or through a link to an open access version on the internet).

If the library doesn't have the full text of an article, you can order it at no charge to you. Most articles arrive within a couple of days; you'll be notified if we are unable to get the article, and you can work with a librarian to identify alternate resources.

The full details are available step by step in the printable handout under More Information.
