Where do I find SFX?
First you will have to conduct a normal search in Metasearch or in a database. If you are working from outside the University, please install VPN Client to be able to search for full texts (only for members of the University).
Look out for the SFX Button among your search results: 
Example of a search results view in Metasearch:
- Access Full-Text:
In most cases clicking on this icon will provide you with the full text from a database.
- Check access options:
In some cases, the full text is not directly available online. However, you can check for the availability of the article in a print journal or another library and request a photocopy of the article or make an interlibrary loan reservation.
