Using Cornell's Databases
While you're visiting Cornell's libraries, you can use the libraries' public computers to get into databases that Cornell licenses. This privilege does not extend off campus.

Useful Tips
Some—but not all—databases provide full-text articles.
If the database does not provide full-text, but does give you a citation, take down the full article ciation. Then, go back to the classic catalog and search for the title of the journal the article appears in. The catalog will indicate which issues of the journal Cornell holds in both print and electronic forms. The full text of the article may be available through a different database.
For more precise searching, search databases individually.
