Cut to the chase with the Majors/ Subjects list of library databases
As the number of the Library’s licensed databases has topped 120, users have become increasingly frustrated trying to locate resources specific to their research topics. Help has arrived with the development of a discipline-based listing of electronic resources based on Cal State Fullerton’s academic departments. To find the departmental database pages, click FIND ARTICLES & MORE.

Getting the full-text of an article has never been easier
Go directly to a full-text resource — ABI/Inform, Expanded Academic, Factiva, JSTOR, Newsstand, Project Muse, ScienceDirect, Wiley Interscience—just some of the more popular sources of full-text journal, magazine and newspaper articles.
Go to your favorite index or abstracting service (Art Abstracts, BasicBIOSIS, Cinahl, ERIC, etc.)—chances are good that it has been SFX-enabled.

SFX: Linking you to your articles
Look for databases with the SFX symbol to the right of the database name. Previously these databases would have provided you with citations and abstracts to articles, but not the article itself. Now, thanks to SXF technology, voilà— a link takes you directly to one or more full-text electronic versions of the article you are looking for, provided, of course, that the library has an electronic version of the article in an SFX-enabled database.
To find an article using an SFX-enabled database:

• Perform a search in any database that has the red and white SFX symbol.
• Click from the List of Records to the Detailed Record for the article you want.
• Click on SFX : Check for Full-Text & More.
• The SFX menu displays with one or more links to the full-text of the article, if available.
