Need help finding full-text?
Full Text Linking is a tool offered by Jacobs Library at IVCC. This tool links our different online resources together, so that if you start your search in one website/database/resource, you can see when full text is available in a different website/database/resource.
You will see small buttons or links in a wide variety of online resources licensed or managed by Jacobs Library. The button usually looks like this:
You may also see the words “Find Full Text @ IVCC” or “Check Alma for Full Text.”
Clicking on these links will bring you to a screen called the “Alma Link Resolver Menu.” Alma Link Resolver is the name of the tool used to link between resources. On the Alma Link Resolver Menu you will see a link to full text or a link to request the article through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).
Full text links will appear automatically in databases licensed by Jacobs Library at IVCC.
Note: If you are off campus, you will also need to log in to your IVCC email credentials before viewing any full text that you find. If you have trouble logging in to library resources or if you need more information, go to https://libguides.ivcc.edu/mobile or call the library at 815-224-0306.
