This video shows you how to use the FindIt/Check for Full Text option when searching in NSU databases.

FindIt is a library tool that may help you locate the full-text of a document (article, dissertation, etc.) once you have already found its citation.

• If the document is available electronically, FindIt will provide links to the full-text articles. These links may appear as direct links to the document in other databases or links to suggested databases where you can try browsing for the article. 
• Other options include a link to NovaCat to see if the document is available in-print in the catalog. If it is available in -print, local students may come to the library to read the document and make a photocopy.
• If the document is not available electronically or you are a distance student unable to physically visit the library to make a photocopy of print material, you may click on the link to ILLiad to request the document through Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan. You will need an NSU password to be able to access this service.

Below is a sample screenshot of how the FindIt options will appear:

If the item is not available and you need to order the item through InterlibraryLoan/Document Delivery, the online request form will automatically be filled out for you. Simply click on the link to ILLiad, sign in, and submit the form.  

• Additional details about ordering items can be found on the Document Delivery / Interlibrary Loan webpage.
