Articles
Tip!
- Don't ignore articles that are not available in full text. If you allow yourself enough time, you can order almost any article!
Full-text Access
Full-text access means the entire article is available online to read or print immediately. You can see in which full-text formats an article is available by looking above the Title in the article record in a database interface (like Academic Search Premier). Below is a chart outlining the benefits of HTML and PDF formats, the two full-text options available at Augsburg:
| Benefits of HTML Full Text | Benefits of PDF Full Text |
| immediate access; no need to download | downloadable to hard drive for future access |
| highlightable text; can copy/paste when citing article | scanned pages with any images that were included in print version of the article |
| smaller file size than PDF version of same article (for dial up users) | may also include 'sidebars' that may not get transcribed in HTML version of article |
