Some things you should know about the Alphabetical List of Electronic Journal Titles from Cleveland State University...

This site gives database or URL locations of full-text electronic journals, but these journals are only available if they are accessible through OhioLINK OR if they are free of charge. A small percentage of the titles listed here are available only at Cleveland State University. The available databases are located in the OhioLINK Research Databases or in the OhioLINK Electronic Journals Center.

Here an example of what you can do with the Cleveland State University list:
You are searching in CINAHL and have found an article entitled "The Last Resource--the Use of Physical Restraints in Medical Emergencies." The full text of the article is not available in CINAHL, but you need the entire article for class. Here's what you can do:

• Remember the journal title.

• Click the link at the top of the page.

• Search for the journal by title. You will see that it is available in Lexis-Nexis.

• Go back to the CSCC Library home page.

• Choose the Lexis-Nexis link.

• Click "Medical."

• Click "News."

• Enter "physical restraints" under "keyword"

• Change the source to New England Journal of Medicine.

The article will appear; after clicking on its title, you will have the full text.

Here's another example...
You need to read the article "Beyond World Class" by David Buchanan in the periodical "Human Resources Management Journal."

• Go the the Cleveland State University Alphabetical List of Electronic Jouurnal Titles.

• Enter the journal title and click "Find." This will tell you that this journal appears in the ABI Inform database. It also tells you that its electronic coverage began in June 1995, and continues to the present.

• Go to OhioLINK Research Databases on the library home page.

• Choose ABI Inform.

• On the ABI search screen, change the "subject" box to "article title."

• Enter the words "beyond world class." This takes you to a screen of four titles, all of which contain the words you typed in. A quick look at the authors tells you that the first one is the one you want.

• Click on the title to get the full record.

• Choose "Retrieve Full Text" to pick the type of full text you want--words or image.

If you need help, just ask a librarian!
