FINDING THE FULL-TEXT OF ARTICLES

The IPA database, unlike some other EBSCO products, is not a full-text database. To find the full-text of articles that you are interested in, you must first determine whether the journals containing these articles are available on campus. (You can use the link included in the database, but due to the way it "searches" the Library Catalog, it may "miss" something that UT does have. We recommend opening an additional browser window and searching the catalog directly, to ensure accurate results.

• Search the title of the journal in the Library Catalog to determine if UT subscribes to the journal you need.
• If the title (and the volume you need) is available on campus, determine which library holds it and its accompanying call number.
• If the journal is not listed in the Library Catalog, check the Online Journals list to see if UT subscribes to an electronic version of the journal.
• Special Note: The ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting abstracts that appear in IPA are complete abstracts - no articles or "transcriptions" of the meetings are available.
