Finding Full Text

A guide to accessing full text of published articles in Gumberg's collections, online, or with Interlibrary Loan

Using Citations to Find Full Text

A citation holds all of the information you need to find the full text of the article - the author, article title, periodical title, date, volume, issue and page number.

You can use the following tools to find full text using citations:

DUQSearch

DUQSearch is found on all Gumberg Library pages. From there you can perform broad searches using keywords or narrow your results by searching for a specific journal or author. DUQSearch will search our databases and the online catalogue for results. 

Try searching for the title of the article in double quotes. Use links below the search result  for the article to access full text through LibKey Nomad, Full Text Finder, or BrowZine. 

A DUQSearch keyword search for an exact title in quotation marks brings up the article record with links to full text.

Libkey Nomad

If you have LibKey Nomad installed on your browser, search the Internet for the article. 

When you open the page, LibKey Nomad will check to see if the article is available through the library. 

 

An icon in the bottom left corner of a browser window shows the green LibKey Nomad logo and reads "Download PDF; Gumberg Library Duquesne University"

 

Selecting Download PDF will open a new window where LibKey has generated a PDF for that article. 

For more information on how to install and use LibKey Nomad, check out our full guide! 

Browzine

You can use BrowZine to find specific journals and articles provided by Gumberg Library. Using BrowZine, you can search by journal title or ISSN. 

 

A search in BrowZine for an exact journal title brings up a link for the matching journal. 

 

With the search results, BrowZine provides a button to export the citation, open a PDF, share, and save to your Bookshelf. 

 

A PDF icon to access full text appears under an article's description in BrowZine

 

If the library does not have what you need, select "Request this item and/or check additional sources" to be taken to Full Text Finder. 

 

A dialog box reads "Full text of this article is not available, but we may be able to get it for you." A button below reads "Request this item and/or check additional resources"
