Optometry: Articles (databases)

You are always welcome to contact Heather!  You can also try:

Search most of FLITE's resources right here (including many, but not all, optometry resources):

If you're doing in-depth research or just didn't find what you need in SmartSearch, it may be time for you to delve into these subject-specific databases.  (Mouseover for more info on each.)

Click on the "Find It" link to find the full text for your citation.  Depending on which FLITE database you are in, it might look different.  Sign in for access as needed with your MyFSU login and password.

After clicking on 'Find It', you often will 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.

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 you clicked 'Interlibrary Loan' (after checking Google Scholar), you will be taken to the ILLiad (interlibrary loan) screen.  Login with your username and password (not your MyFSU login and password).  First time ILLiad users must register for an account before making requests.

More about ILLiad (interlibrary loan) article requests:

• You will receive an email when a PDF of the article your requested is available in your ILLiad account 
• The article will be available in your ILLiad account for three weeks
• If you choose the 'Interlibrary loan' option to access full text while searching in a FLITE database, ILLiad's 'Article Request' form will prepopulate with citation information 
• If you have citation information and FLITE did not have full text for your item, you can also make a request by logging directly into ILLiad and manually entering citation information into the 'Article Request' form
