Library databases index articles, and often link to the full text that the library has purchased. If we don't have the full text, you can order it from Interlibrary Loan, which takes up to 3 days. A librarian can help you with Interlibrary Loan.
To search for an article, use focused keywords and try different synonyms for your keywords. Learn better terminology in a good article by checking the keywords used by the author and use those keywords for more targeted search results.
