Find it @ UE!

You may have noticed this button in many of UEL's online databases like WorldCat and Academic Search Premier. This button does the same thing that the link Check for Full Text/Check ACE/Request ILL did.

For example, from a results list:




Clicking the Find It button takes you to this screen:


If the item is full text, a link and GO button will appear under that section.

If there is no full text, options to search ACE, consult the Journal List and request the item through Interlibrary Loan are all present.

Look for more announcements concerning this VERY important change in 2008.
