The search. A result. Look to the right for options. Look to the left for full text.

24
This is the second article. Nice abstract but no full text. What is the Jayhawk telling us? Get at KU.
25
The search was put to all of the databases and found here in full text.
26
This is a third article where the Jayhawk Get at KU did NOT find the article in full text. YOU CAN ALWAYS GET FULL TEXT.
27
Let the library work for you. Interlibrary loan means that you request the article and receive a link to the article in your email. YOU CAN ALWAYS GET FULL TEXT.
