Full Text

The complete electronic text of an article is called the full text. Some databases, like Wilson Select and PsycARTICLES, provide entire articles online.

What if there are pictures or graphs with the article that you want to see?

To find pictures originally published with the article, you sometimes need to get the print copy from the library. There are an increasing number of databases that now offer full content with Portable Document Format, or PDF. Full content with PDF includes the article plus any graphs, charts, pictures and text. It looks like a picture has been taken of the article.
