Database Tip - Removing the Full Text Filter
If you don't find a lot of full text journal articles in your search you can remove the full text filter in most databases and search citations/abstracts only. Use Interlibrary Loan to request a full text copy of that article (it's free!).
Look for the Full Text Limit/Filter in the left column of whatever database you are working in.
