How to Get the Full-Text of a Journal Article @ the FSU Libraries

At Google Scholar,  the “Find It @ FSU” link provides easy access to full-text content available at FSU. If you are off-campus, the “Find it @ FSU” link will not appear. You need to change the setting to make the button displayed on your screen. See How do I set up Google Scholar to get full-text articles?

Take a look at the differences in the settings of Google Scholar for a particular article, focusing on the initial setup and the changes made later on.

Tip:
1. Full-text access via “Find it @ FSU” is not as quick and direct as LibKey Nomad.

2. Materials accessible via academic resource platforms like Academia.edu or ResearchGate.net are frequently just drafts, not the final version that got published. When you're writing a scholarly paper, always make sure to cite the final version of the publication, like articles that have been officially published in a journal.

When a "PDF" or "PDF Full Text" button is available, please click on the button to gain immediate access to the document.
