Looking for Full-Text?

The databases will not always offer you the full-text of articles, but the Library offers Interlibrary Loan (ILL). This is a service where you can submit an online Interlibrary loan (ILL) request on Clio, and Library staff will get the article for you.

If you are looking for full-text of an article you found outside the Library (like on Google Scholar), you can use the Library's Article Linker tool to quickly find full-text or request via interlibrary loan.

If you need further assistance or have any questions regarding ILL, email tuc.library@touro.edu or call us at 707-638-5317. Please see here for more information on ILL and using Clio, the Library's interlibrary loan service.
