When you see the link to Check for Full Text via OCLC Link Resolver under the article you found via library databases, it means that the specific database you have been searching in does not have the full text of the article. That, however, does not necessarily mean that we don't have the full text of the article. There still is a chance that we have access to this article via other library databases. Special software called Link Resolver allows the library system to check if the said article is available in full text via other library databases. If you click on the Check for Full Text via OCLC Link Resolver and the full text is available someplace else, you will be taken there by the system. 

If clicking on Check for Full Text via OCLC Link Resolver does not result in finding the full text of the article, it is still not the end of the road. You can then fill out our Interlibrary Loan form and we will try to obtain your article from another library that owns the full text. Our interlibrary loan service is usually pretty quick and you may get the article by email sometimes within just hours.
