Full text access and other research tips:
- Use the "Core Nursing" limiter in CINAHL to zero in on peer-reviewed articles in the Nursing literature. Apply this limiter by selecting it from the "Journal Subset" drop-down on the Advanced Search screen.
- If full text is not available, follow the link to "Request via Interlibrary Loan." Complete the form and submit. The article will be emailed to you, usually within 24-48 hours.
- Last minute rush? Check the "EBSCO Full Text" limiter to eliminate results that are not immediately available in full text.
- Too many search words can eliminate useful results! Try using just one or two words relevant to your topic. It's okay if the result list is large - results are ranked by relevance. Once you apply your limiters, the best articles will rise to the top.
- Using Google Scholar? These step-by-step instructions show you how to locate full text (either free online, or free to you through CSU).
Off campus?
Many electronic resources (research databases, e-books, etc.) are limited to CSU students, faculty, and staff when accessed off campus. You may be prompted to authenticate by entering your CampusNet ID and password.
