In all the databases, if there is no full text, look for either a link that says "Full Text Finder" or a small green icon in a blue circle. This is especially true for the databases such as Arts and Humanities Citation Index- since it does not directly have full text. The "full text finder" will indicate if we have the article in print or in a different online source. Also, if it isn't in our library, you can request articles via Interlibrary Loan (ILL). ILL articles will come as pdfs to your Otterbein email account. To request an article thorugh ILL see the link below.

When you are in a bibliography, often there will not be links. In that case, you'll do the following:
You have an article and the following citation from their bibliography is one you want to look at:
William PressleyMccabe, Susan., "Delight in Dislocation....." Modernism/Modernity (2001). 429-452.
To find this article you need to click on the Journal tab and look at our A-Z list of available journals. Your search would be for Modernism/Modernity.
If we had this title in print, it would be shown in the results. These results show that we don't have print. However, we do have access to this title from 1994 to the present through two databases, OhioLINK EJC and Project Muse. Clicking on either link should get you to the journal page. From there, you would need to search for the article you want from 2001. If you needed an article that was from before 1994, you would need to request that article through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).
The Courtright Library subscribes to several print journals and magazines that cover various aspects of art. Some of these journals involve photographers and can be helpful to browse and read when doing research. You can find these on the second floor off the library.
