Save Time with the Library "Get It!" Button

Mouse ImageWhen you are searching databases through the Penn State University Libraries Web site, look for the blue "Get it!" button—a tool that makes finding full-text journal articles faster.

Once you find a database article that interests you (using PsychInfo, ERIC, ProQuest, etc.), click on the "Get it!" button to:

  • link directly from a citation in a database to the full text of an article online (as available)
  • search the CAT (Penn State's online library catalog) to see whether Penn State owns other formats of the publication
  • request an item via the Interlibrary Loan system (ILLiad), if the print or electronic version is not available

If you have an article citation or journal title, you can see whether Penn State owns the online version—and then connect to it—by using the "Citation Linker" tool available on the "Articles and More" Web page: www.libraries.psu.edu/articles.html

If you use a bibliographic software package such as EndNote, the "Get it!" button also gives you the convenient option of saving the article information in your preferred citation format.
