Anytime you have required or suggested readings that are available in one of the following fulltext databases, you can set up a link in Owlnet so that students can directly access the individual article. Following are directions on how to set up a link to a fulltext journal article in the databases that offer this feature. If a database isn't listed, it probably does not offer this feature. Also, if the fulltext is not available, linking to just a bibliographic record will probably be frustrating for students. If you have any questions, please contact Reference Librarian Tena Edwards.
