PDF files provide a visual replica, or scanned copy, of the material as it was originally published in print and therefore preserve all formatting, page numeration, and original images, charts, graphs, etc.
Full Text - Refers to the electronic representation of a document that includes the complete text of the original document - usually a book or an article.
What is Full-Text?
HTML files provide the complete text and may include graphs, tables, images from the original. The original formatting and page numeration is often lost in HTML versions.
What is Find It!?
Find It! acts as an intermediary service to create a shortcut link between a citation in a database and the full text of a document.
Find It! Saves you time – you no longer need to write down the citation and then check the Journal Finder, NovaCat or other databases…Find It! does it for you.
If full text is not available online, it provides other options for obtaining full text.
