Within library databases:
Depending on which database you are using, the steps and appearance will be a little different. Look for the following buttons (typically either on the left side, right side, or towards the bottom of each record):
- View PDF
- Alternate Links
- View full text
- Access options > PDF or Online
Clicking on one of these will lead you to the full text.
. 
If you don't see any of these links, look for a "Find Full Text" link, or a grey "Request through Interlibrary Loan" button.
You can request the article be ordered for us from another library and delivered within days by clicking "Request through Interlibrary Loan" and submitting the short form. This is a free service for Radford University's students, faculty and staff. For more information see our Interlibrary Loan guide.
What about searching Google Scholar for the full text?
You can also search for an article's title in Google Scholar. If you are off campus, make sure to use a link through a library webpage. This will route you through the Single Sign-On (SSO) and will ensure you get the full text of both freely available content and Radford University Libraries' subscriptions.
LibKey Nomad Browser Extension
You can also install LibKey Nomad, a browser extension provided through our membership in the VIVA academic library consortium, into browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, that helps connect you to journal articles through our subscriptions or open access resources. Install the plugin and choose Radford University as your library. This 2-minute video will help you install.
