Where's the Article?
If a database search tells you about an article but the full article's not there, don't despair. Look for the "FindIt" button: 
Integrated by the BC Libraries into many databases, "Find
It" helps you get the article in one of three ways:
- a link to the article online from another source.
- information on how to find the article in hard copy at BC.
- a link to a form to request the Libraries to obtain the article for you (usually within 24 hours) from outside BC.
