The Williams Library has configured a new citation/resource linking technology called SFX. SFX links together the Library’s databases and e-journals, making it easier to find the online full-text of an article. Students and faculty searching in the Library’s research databases can click on the button to find full-text articles.

For example, if you search Academic Search Complete and you see the icon underneath the citation, the article is not full-text. BUT, select the icon and a new window opens as SFX searches many of the library’s other databases to discover if the article is full-text in another library database. If an article is full-text in another library database a direct link to the article will display (though some technical glitches still exist).

If it is not available in any of the library databases, select the Interlibrary Loan link and the library will get a copy from another library (no cost for this service).
