How to get full text for an article through a FLITE database

Click on the "Ferris Full Text" link to find the full text for your citation if you don't see an option to access a PDF.  Depending on which FLITE database you are in, it might look different.  Sign in for access as needed with your MyFSU login and password.

Full text options through FLITE

If full text is available through FLITE, you will see a PDF option and/or more options to access full text through FLITE. If a PDF option is not available, use one "Full text availability" options to access the full text of your article through FLITE. It doesn't matter which one you choose as long as it covers the date range of interest. 

After clicking on Find It, you will often see a screen with one or more options to access full text through FLITE.  Choose one of the full text options to access the full text of your article through FLITE.

No Full Text option for your article through FLITE, now what?

FLITE cannot subscribe to every journal.  If there are no full text options available through FLITE, try the 'Google Scholar' link first, then click on 'Interlibrary Loan' for document delivery.

If no full text options are available through FLITE, try Google Scholar first, and then the interlibrary loan option for document delivery.
