Finding Articles, Technical Reports & Conference Papers
Citation information from databases can be used to help locate the full-text in the following ways:
- Link to the full-text of the article in another location by clicking on a button that says
 .
- If you don't see the find it @ SU button, search Socrates, the
online catalog, using Periodical Title to determine whether the journal is available through the Stanford Libraries.
- If the journal is not in Socrates, you can request it from another library via
Interlibrary Services (ILL).
