Q. How can I get the full-text of an article I found?

If you have the author and/or title of the article you can always search for it using our catalog search bar on the library home page (https://library.pepperdine.edu/). Our catalog will search through the available databases for a full-text version of your article.
 

If Pepperdine does not have access to the full-text of the article you may have to request the article through our Tipasa/Interlibrary Loan service. You can fill out a request using the ILL/Tipasa link. Once the request has been submitted our ILL staff will work to get you a copy of the article from another library that has access and we will send you a PDF copy to your Tipasa account.

Please note that if you found your article directly through an online database such as https://journals.sagepub.com/ you may not be seeing the full-text available because the database has not registered your WaveNet credentials.
For full-text access the Sage Journals and other similar databases, log in directly from our A-Z database list.

Another option is to search Google Scholar with the title of the article. Professors sometimes share their articles on institutional repositories.
