Lafayette College Library

Some electronic indexes, like Academic OneFile, contain many full-text articles. Others, such as EconLit and PsycInfo, only contain citations and/or abstracts. However, the Lafayette Libraries may still have access to the full text of articles you find in these indexes. To determine whether the article you want is available, simply click on the WebBridge button (usually near the top or bottom of the screen). A new window will pop up that looks like this:

At the top of this window, in a gray box, you will see the citation for your article repeated. Directly underneath, look for the words "Full Text Available" and follow any of the links associated with it. That should take you to an electronic copy of the article.

If you do not see the words "Full Text Available," your next step is to search the Lafayette Library Catalog to determine whether the Libraries own a print or microform copy of the periodical from which you can copy your article. Click on the link marked "Lafayette Library Catalog," and WebBridge will automatically search for the periodical you need.

If the periodical isn't in the Library Catalog, click on the "ILL Article Request" link, and we'll get the article from another library for you.
