How to get to the Full Text of an article

If you find in the databases/Internet only an abstract/citation/summary, please follow the steps below to get to the journal and ultimately article:

You will need to use a database called A-Z list (the very first database on our list).
A-Z list is an index of all the journals we are subscribed to plus in which database you will be able to find the journal in full text. So when we do a search in A-Z list we do NOT do an author search or an article title search or a topic search. You have to do a JOURNAL TITLE search as it is only an index of journal titles. (This will not be a problem as the reference will include the journal title)

Here are the instructions:
* Go to UJ library list of database
* Click on A-Z list (a list of all our electronic journals)
* Your surname is your user id and your student number your password.
* Click on Search
* Type in the journal name that you are looking for and click on search
* A list of journal titles that contain the words you type in will be displayed
* Click on the blue database title and the journal will open (If your journal is NOT listed i.e. you get a 0 matches found reply, then we do not have a copy in our library ~ please request the article through an Interlibrary Loan)
* Click on the volume and issue
* Click on the article you are looking for (blue and underlined) and it will open up
