7. How do I get to the article if there is only a journal or database link?

   In cases where Article Linker can only take you to the journal's table of contents or a database home page, you will have to browse the table of contents to locate the issue and article you need; or, search the database to retrieve the full-text article.

8. provides an article level link even though the full-text of the article is not available. Why?

   This can occur for several reasons:

   • Full-text articles are withheld from the online versions of the database by the publisher or author.
   • Meta-data appears in a database before the publisher has made the full text available. Sometimes the coverage dates are not supplied in the library's data and Article Link will provide an article link with the hope that your library has access to that date range.
