Q. Why do some articles only list the citation and abstract, not the full-text?

While many of our databases provide full text access to articles, some do not. Sometimes you’ll find citation-only or abstract-only entries. Whether an article is available in full text depends on the database you are searching and the journal in which the article is published. Even though our database subscriptions don't provide full text to all journals or issues of journals, we can get copies of articles for current students, faculty, and staff through interlibrary loan.
