  2. Retrieving Full Text Articles This tutorial outlines four methods for retrieving full text articles from EBSCO databases: • 1. Searching a topic and limiting to full text articles. • 2. Utilizing the publications database. • 3. Retrieving a particular citation. • 4. Utilizing the citation matcher.

  3. Searching a Topic • Choose the database. • Start your search by entering a subject heading or key word into an empty search box (see example on next slide). • Before clicking on SEARCH check the FULL TEXT box to limit retrieval to full text articles. NOTE: limiting your search to FULL TEXT may eliminate relevant non-full text content.

  4. Utilizing the Publications Database • Click on the blue tab labelled PUBLICATIONS. • Enter the title of the journal and click BROWSE. The exact title is not necessary. • Browse contents of journal using year/issue links. • Choose the database. • For a particular article within this journal use the link SEARCH WITHIN THIS PUBLICATION. • Check the FULL TEXT box (see examples). • Click on the record to view the full citation. The PDF or HTML link is displayed, along with output options.

  6.

  7. Utilizing the Citation Matcher • Choose the database. • Enter available data into pre-defined search boxes. • The author’s surname is Thomson (no first initial). • The exact journal title is unknown, but the word ‘nutrition’ is somewhere in the journal title. • The word ‘antioxidants’ appears in the article title. • Click on SEARCH. • Click on full text PDF link (see example).
