Troubleshooting Discovery links

Discovery is an excellent search tool to find articles (and ebooks) but when connecting to external databases, occasionally the links to a full text article may not work correctly. If you're having trouble try these few tips or ask a Librarian.

•  If you find an article that directs you to another database, first try the link, but if that doesn't connect you, go to the Databases list on LibGuides ... open the specific database and paste the title or author in the search box.

• Sometimes Discovery will state that an external database has an article in full text (see below) ... but the info is not always accurate, you need to double check as sometimes its only an Abstract / summary.
