SciFinder only indexes article citations; it doesn’t include the full text of the documents. Here are instructions on how to access the full text in SciFinder.

1. When in the search results list OR when looking at the record for an individual document, click the “Full Text” link under the abstract of the article.
2. You will then see a link that says “WMU Article Linker." That link allows SciFinder and other databases we subscribe to “talk” to each other, and look for a full-text version of your article.
3. The "WMU Article Linker" (when clicked) will take you to a Library Search screen with a small yellow box. That box will read “View Online At” and there will be a link, usually to a specific journal or database. Click on that link.
4. Usually, this click will take you directly to the article. Sometimes, it will take you to the journal website. If that happens, navigate to the correct volume, issue and page in the journal.

There’s one exception to these instructions—instances when the University Libraries does not subscribe to an article database that has the full text of the article you’re interested in. In this case, you’ll need to request an article via Interlibrary Loan.
