Off-Campus Access to Databases

 

 

NOTE: 

Although these databases contain a high percentage of full-text (i.e., complete) articles, not all articles are available.  If the full-text is available, there will be a link to it located underneath the citation.  If not, click the link for "LinkSource" or "Get Article"; this will search our other databases for the article. To use LinkSource or Get Article from off-campus, call 785-628-5283 for the username and password.

 

 

If it is found, the article or a link to it will come up in a new window.  If not, you will see "There were no results to display".  In this event, search the online catalog for the print journal.  If the library does not own the issue of the journal you need, you can request it through InterLibrary Loan or Distance Services.   Click here for instructions on finding articles in print and how to request articles.
