Find the full text of an article
Some articles will include an easy link to the PDF Full Text, like you see in the article listing above.
For those that do not, you will notice that they have a Find It @ BALL STATE button, like the article below.
When you click on the Find It @ BALL STATE button, the system will search for the article's full text in the University Libraries' other databases and resources. Sometimes, you will be taken to a page with options to get to the full text of the article.
If the full text is not available, you may select Request the item with Interlibrary Loan / ILLiad to request that we ask for the article from another library. We can't guarantee that the article will be available, but very often it is. You will then receive an email letting you know when the article is available to download from your Interlibrary Loan account.
