Full Text Links

PDF links from search results are the quickest and easiest way of connecting to the full text of journal articles so, wherever possible, PDF links are provided from honni Encore.  If you see an article without a PDF link it is either because the database doesn’t facilitate PDF linking or the article isn’t actually available in full text from that database.  In these cases you will usually see a honniconnect link instead.

The honniconnect link displays a page listing any sources of full text that are known to be available, based on the information in our journal holdings database. There may be more than one full text link if the journal is available from multiple sources.  If the article is not available in full text, a Place Request link will always be provided so that you have the option of requesting a copy of the article from the library.

In some cases there may be neither a PDF nor a honniconnect link, but you can still check for yourself whether the article is available in full-text.  Just click the article title to go to the provider’s own website.  As the system is further developed such cases should decline or disappear.  In addition, the number of full text links made available via honniconnect will continue to increase until all available full text is reported as accurately as possible.
