During this tutorial module, you will learn how to access full text e-journals using the Library’s E-Journals database. This tutorial is approximately 4 minutes long.Suppose we want to find the full text for this article:Leong SC. The flaming gypsy skirt injury. Injury. 2007 Jan: 38(1):122-4.We would start by searching the Library’s E-Journals database.On the Library’s homepage, you can select the tab for E-Journals to run a search in our E-Journals database.Or you can access the E-Journals database by selecting Find Resources from the top navigation, then E-Journals.This is the E-Journals database.You can use the search box to quickly determine whether we have access to a journal electronically.Here is our citation: The flaming gypsy skirt injury. Injury. 38(1):122-124, 2007 January.You can see that the article is found in the journal Injury.Type Injury in the search box and click Search.Our search results appear, which include any journal that has the word “injury” in the title.Select the Full Text Access link under Injury to view the options.You can use any of the publisher links below to access the journal, but you need to pay attention to the “Online Coverage” dates.We are looking for a 2007 issue, so either link (ClinicalKey eJournals or ScienceDirect) would provide full text access. Let’s use ClinicalKey eJournals to access the full text.Select the ClinicalKey eJournals link above.The home page for Injury appears.We need to access a 2007 volume, so we need to scroll down.Select Volume 38 (2007).Select Issue 1, January from the list on the left.There is a link to view the article as a PDF. The PDF view will look like the article does in the print journal.Click the title of the article, The flaming gypsy skirt injury, to view the article in html. The full text appears. The html version of an article may have additional features that the PDF version lacks, like comments, errata, links to related articles, or email alerts if someone cites the article.Let’s return to the E-Journals database. Now we are going to take a look at some other search tips for accessing e-journals.If you wanted to see what journals the library owns that have the word Neurology in the title, simply search for the word Neurology. Type Neurology in the search box now and click Search.As you can see, the library has access to several journals with the word “Neurology” appearing somewhere in the title.Let’s take a look at the “Full Text Access” for the European Journal of Neurology. Select Full Text Access. Notice the “Full Text Delay: 1 year” period listed for many of the sources. In this example, the publisher has restricted access to the most recent 12 months of the European Journal of Neurology. (In other words, you would be able to view the articles one year after publication.) There is no full text delay (embargo) note for the Wiley Online Library link. You would use this link to access the most recent articles for this journal.In addition to e-journals, you will also notice e-books in your search results. Select Atlas of Clinical Neurology.More information about the e-book appears, including a link to access the full text.Here’s another example of when you would want to search our E-Journals database:Many of our databases provide links to full text journal articles. However, if you find a citation without a link to full text, remember to search the E-Journals database to check for availability.Finally, if you can’t find a particular journal in the E-Journals database, you can search the Catalog by selecting the Catalog search box on the Library’s homepage. The Catalog will let you know if we own the journal in print.During this tutorial, we looked at ways to search the E-Journals database to access e-journals.In the next module, we will learn how to search for articles using Ovid MEDLINE. ................
