Find Full-Text Articles

By
How do you go about looking for the Full-text of an article?

Not sure what an article is? Complete our etutorial What is an Article? To learn about the different elements of an article that you will need before you start your search.

So now you have your article reference and you can recognise all the different elements – where are you going to start?

First things first – not everything is freely available on the Internet so expecting to find everything via Google is being a bit optimistic.

Secondly – the library service buys stuff for you. We purchase journals so that you can access the full-text.

What do we buy?
You can find out what we buy by looking on our Journals Lists.

Lists – there’s more than 1?
We have a journals list that we buy for Keele students and staff.
We have a journals list that we buy for our NHS users.
The lists are different – that is, we buy different journal titles for our different groups of users.

Keele Journals
The Keele journals list is available to Keele students and staff. To access the full-text articles on this list you will need to be on a Keele networked computer or off-campus you will need to use your Keele computer login.

NHS Journals
The NHS journals list is available to NHS Athens users. You will need to login to the list to see all the journal titles bought for your organisation. You will need to use your Athens login to access the full-text.

NHS Staff can access Keele Journals
If you are a member of the Health Library you can access Keele networked resources in the IT suite. Bring your library card to the counter and ask for a temporary login to the Keele network.

But it is still not there!
If the journal you need is not available on any of our lists, and not freely available on the Internet (openaccess), then you can request an inter-library-loan for the article and we will try to get a copy for you – more details here.
