How do I find the full-text for specific articles or books? How do I request items that are not available?
I have one or more specific citations for articles or books that I would like to read. How do I find the full text? The library does not have an article or book that I need, how do I request it?
Answer
To find full text articles or books at UHNLibraries.ca start with the OneSearch box, which is under the blue menu bar on the Home page of UHNLibraries.ca. Paste the title of the item you're looking for into the box and hit search.
From there you'll see a list of citations found in any of the UHN Library resources. Under each citation, there are some links indicating if we have the full text and how to access it.
- If the link says "Full Text online" it should take you to a page with the full text.
- If the link says PDF, it should take you directly to the PDF.
- If the link says something like "Check Availability, QT 261 B892 2017, TRI-UC Library," we should have a print copy, and the link will take you to a page where you can see if it is checked out, and where it is located.
- If there's a link that says "citation online" we probably don't have the full text. Instead, if you click on the title of the item, and then:
- click the "Interlibrary Loan" link
- click the "Request via Interlibrary Loan" link
- fill in the Interlibrary Loan form
we will look for a copy at another library and let you know if there is going to be a fee.
If you can't find your item by searching OneSearch, you can also fill in the Article or Book Request Form and we will try to obtain it for you from another library.
