Clinical adjunct faculty can click on "Full-Text Journals" on the library homepage and search the portal to determine if LMU-DCOM has full-text access to a journal. A video tutorial on how to use this tool is available here.
When searching a database, if the article you want is not available in full-text, it may be available in another database or in the Library's print collection. Library staff will scan articles from print journals and send them to appointed clinical adjunct faculty for free. To see if an article is available in full-text from within a database, click on "Find It @Carnegie-Vincent Library" or "Reed Medical and Allied Health Library" within the entry for the article. To see the library button within an article entry in PubMed or another database, one must use a link to the database from an LMU library website. If the message "Sorry, no holdings were found for this journal" appears, you may request the item by clicking on the "Request via Interlibrary Loan" link on the same page. Appointed clinical adjunct faculty may register and create a username and password in the ILLiad system to be able to freely place interlibrary loan requests.
