Q. I need the full text of an article.

There are several ways to get journal articles.

When you have a reference, try using PubMed from the Library's home page. This gives quick access to the Find It @UTMB button which helps connect to the full journal article, or if we do not have it, the Request It form.

1. Connect to the Library's home page.
2. Click on the PubMed link in the Find Databases by Name box. This address is customized for UTMB.
3. Click on Single Citation Matcher from the Find section below the search blank.
4. Fill in the blanks on the form and click Search. Journal name, volume, and first page number are enough to get you to the article.
5. From the reference in PubMed, click the Find It @UTMB button in the upper right corner. You may see a publisher icon. These may not work, even when we have a subscription, especially if you are off-campus.
6. The Find It @UTMB button will connect to the full article when it is available electronically, provide information about availability in the Library building, and access to Request It to request copies not in the collection.

If the PubMed Single Citation Matcher does not find any results, try using the Search Everything box on the Library's home page or the search box on the "Journals" tab on the Library's home page.

Search Everything box:

1. Connect to the Library's home page.
2. Type in words from the article title or keywords of interest in the search box.
3. If you see the article of interest in the results, click the title to connect to the full-text.
4. If you do not see the article of interest, try expanding the results by clicking "Expand My Results".
5. If you see the article, click on the title, and you should be able to request it via Request It.

 Journals tab:

1. Connect to the Library's home page.
2. Click on Search Journals and type in the name of the journal in the search box.
3. The Results tell you where we have full-text available.
   Note: Online access may exist in multiple resources. Pay attention to the dates to pick the best match for the reference you need.
   Note: You can request scanned copies from our print collection via Request It.
