Some databases, like IEEE/IEE Library, contain full-text articles. However, many of the databases you can use to find journal articles are called Abstracting and Indexing databases because they contain citation information, such as author, journal, publication date, the abstract of the article, etc.

This citation information can be used to help locate the full-text in the following ways:

• Link to the full-text of the article in another database by clicking on a button that says find it @ SU.
• If you don't see the find it @ SU button, search SearchWorks, the Stanford Libraries Catalog, by Periodical Title to determine if the journal is available to you through the Stanford Libraries.
• If the journal is not in the SearchWorks, you can request it from another library via Interlibrary Borrowing.
