Finding the text of articles

Full-text is not always included in the databases you are searching and rarely is found in print indexes.

• UCAT
  search by journal title to see if we have a print subscription to a journal.
• Electronic Journal List A-Z
  search by journal title to see if we have a full-text copy of the journal available in a different database
• WorldCat
  if you can't find it at UTSA you can use WorldCat to search for a journal title in other San Antonio and U.S. Libraries
• Interlibrary Loan
  if you still can't find it you can order it via Interlibrary Loan, but this takes time
