This research guide will help those looking for resources on gender and sexuality in media, specifically those in COM ARTS 418.

Finding Full Text of Articles in Databases

  • If you want to read an article, you will need to look for a link or button that says “Full Text,” “HTML Full Text,” “PDF Full Text” or something similar. These links will take you directly to the article.
  • If there is not a link to the full text, you will want to look for a red Find It button. Clicking this button searches all of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries databases for availability elsewhere.
    • If the full text is available online, you will see one or more links to source(s) to get full text. 
    • If it is not available online, click the Look for Print and Other Formats in the Library Catalog under Additional Options to see if the Libraries have a print copy.
    • If it is available in print only or not available, you can Request a Copy of the article. Library staff will scan the article and send it to your email.  If the article is available on campus, it wil take 1-3 days.  If the article is not available on campus, it will take 3-9 days.  There is no charge for this service.
