Don't forget to save your results! The link in the url bar is tied to your login and won't last forever. Use some of the database tools to save your articles for future use. In SOCIndex you will find these options on the article page on the right side of the screen. E-mail the article to yourself from here or grab the Permalink (Permanent Link) for later.
These databases are all subscription resources paid for by the library and your tuition. Most academic research is only available through expensive subscriptions, however, that's changing with the open access movement. To learn more about open access publishing models and how can you find and support freely available research check out our Open Access guide.

If you don't see a PDF button or icon, look for a "Find it @ CSUDH Lib" button on the left side of the page. This will search our full-text options for anywhere we might have the article (such as another database) in a separate page.
If a book or article isn’t available through one of the library’s subscriptions, you can request it through Interlibrary Loan. Interlibrary Loan is a resource sharing service with libraries across the country that provides research materials at no cost to you. If you're requesting an article or book chapter, you'll receive a copy as a PDF.
First, check to see if it's available in OneSearch or another library database. Look for the Find It @ CSUDH Lib button.
If there is full text or physical copy available, use the link to request it through Interlibrary Loan, or sign in to your Interlibrary Loan account to submit a fill out a request form.
You can also borrow books from other CSU campuses and have them delivered to the CSUDH Library. Look for the Request through CSU+ option in OneSearch.
