Select the PDF full text icon located under the desired journal citation to retrieve the article (print, email and download options are available). Electronic journal articles may be available in PDF and/or HTML formats.

A notation that “this Journal is held locally” means that the physical (print) journal is available in the COD Library for duplication.

If one of these options does not appear below a citation, use the “Find This” button to see if the full text is available in another COD database or request the article via ILL Request Forms
