Viewing Full Articles

If you see one of the following icons, Html Full Text icon or PDF Full Text Icon , click on the icon to view the article. 

A PDF is a copy of the article in its original layout, including pictures/charts. An HTML document is composed of the text only.

You may also see a link to find the article outside of CINAHL: Article Linker icon. Click the Article Linker button to link to the article or see where it is located in the library.

If you do not see a full-text link or the Article Linker button, double-check the availability using the Journal Title Search.  Make sure to enter the journal title, not the article title.

Don't forget that you can also click on the ILLiad link to obtain the article from another library. After clicking this link, you must create or sign in to an interlibrary loan account. Obtaining journal articles typically takes about 3 to 5 days.

Folders

From the results list, you can save articles or citations of interest to a folder by choosing Add to Folder icon.  

To store items in your folder indefinitely, create an Ebscohost account by choosing Sign In button in the upper blue bar and then "Create a new Account."  

If you do not sign in to an Ebsco account, any items you've added to a folder will be lost.
