Finding Full Text

A step-by-step guide to getting full text through Jefferson Libraries

I know what issue of the journal I am looking for

You may want to look up a journal if you are trying to find a specific issue of the journal or if the article lookup option did not work.
Step 1:  Start by going to the website for your library: Gutman Library (East Falls campus), Scott Memorial Library (Center City campus), Dixon Library (Dixon campus), or Wilmer Memorial Library (Abington Hospital).
Step 2:  In the search box, choose the "Journals" tab and type the journal title into the search box. Then click the Find It button.

Step 3:  If the Jefferson Libraries subscribes to the journal, you will see it in the results list with an "Available Online" option. Click this link to see your access options.

Step 4:  For some journals, you may see more than one access option. Often the older articles will be accessible through a different platform than the newer articles. Check the options and choose one that matches the year range of the issue you are looking for.
Step 5:  Once you have clicked an option, you will need to find the issue archive and navigate to the correct issue. Each platform looks a little different, so no screenshot is included for this step.
