Have you found a citation for an article or book online but hit a paywall? Don't worry - the library's tools make it easy to check if the full-text is available in the Virtual Library!

Option 1: Use the Search ALL Library Databases Tool
Locate the Search ALL Library Databases box on the Library Homepage. This search allows you to search across the Virtual Library's entire collection of articles, books, journals and other resources. Type the title of the book or article you're looking for in the search box (make sure to enclose it in quotation marks).

Option 2: Use the Journal Tool
Use this if you've found a citation for an article from a particular journal and want to check if the Library has access to that journal.
• Find the Journal Finder box on the Library homepage
• Enter the journal title (e.g. Journal of Nursing) and this tool will show you if the Library has a subscription to this title

Refine Your Search Results
Browse through the search results. You may find the exact item you're looking for. If there are too many results, you can filter by resource type, year or subject.

TIP: It's always best to start your research in the library, as you have access to thousands of full text articles for free. If you're struggling with your topic, please reach out to the librarians, we're happy to help with a search strategy.
