A Type or copy/paste the article’s title into the search box. If you’re certain your spelling is correct, put quotation marks around the title to search its exact wording.

B If the article is available through UMSL’s journal subscriptions or databases, it should appear as one of the first results and will include a link to a PDF or other full-text option.

Not all articles will be immediately available as full text, and you’ll need to request them through Interlibrary Loan.
C If you get a message saying no results were found, click the Clear All Filters button to remove the default Available in Library Collection filter.

D This time, when the article appears at the top of the list, you can request it through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).

E When you use this button, all of the information the lending library needs will auto-fill. You only need to add your status and department before submitting the request.
