Getting Ready for Research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Best Databases

This guide provides an overview of the services and resources available at the University Libraries.

Accessing Articles

Not every database will provide the full text of every article you find. If you aren't instantly connected to the article's full text, keep an eye out for the Find This for Me link:

If you still can't get access, request it through Delivery/Interlibrary Loan:

Using Google Scholar?

​Make sure to set your Google Scholar library preferences so you can get the full text of articles through University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries subscriptions.

From the Scholar homepage:

  1. click Settings
  2. select Library Links
  3. search for University of Nebraska-Lincoln
  4. look for the "Find This for Me" link on your results page
