• While searching bibliographic databases, look for the graphic buttons for SFX or within the results display. These buttons will provide an SFX menu of links to full text journals (online), the library catalog (for print holdings), and Interlibrary Loan (for journal articles not available at Smith). Questions? See the SC Links FAQ.
  
  
• You may also search the Journal Locator by journal title to find out if your journal is available online through Smith's subscription databases.
  
  
• The Journal Locator also provides links to print holdings in the Five College Library Catalog, which can be searched separately by Journal Title.
  
  
• For journal articles not available at Smith, use the link to Interlibrary Loan, on the SFX menu to request electronic delivery of articles.
  
  
• For a list of periodical indexes that contain at least some full text titles, see Full Text Databases.
  
  
• Search Ulrichsweb.com or Jake (via the University of Florida) by journal title to find out where a particular journal is indexed, and whether or not it is available full text.
