Tips, techniques & links to help you find answers for your research papers & projects

Finding the TEXT of articles

Some databases, but not most, have direct links to articles.  For most databases you will need to look for the linker button,

Find it at MU button

From this point you will have three options:

  1. Click to go right to the article text online
  2. Check MERLIN for paper copies if we don't have it online
  3. Request thru Interlibrary Loan

If we don't have an article online or in print in the library, you can order it via Interlibrary Loan Service.  In most cases you will receive your article online via your MU e-mail account within 3 days.  As long as you plan ahead and don't wait until the last minute, you should get your article in plenty of time for your research project. There is no charge for this service.
