Databases with journals and articles vary in how much full-text material they contain:

• Some databases have no full-text content
• Others are entirely full-text
• Many have a combination of records which are "citation-only" (no full-text), and records that have full-text. Sometimes it's not easy to tell what is full-text and what is not. Sometimes you can click on a link to the full-text, only to find that payment is required to get the full article. (See If the full article is not available.)

If an item in a database has full-text available, there should be a link somewhere close to the record. The full item might be available as a PDF, in HTML, or both:
