UC-eLinks and Citation Linker
Article Databases or Indexes can search multiple journal titles at once. Sometimes the index will link to full text online; sometimes the index will give you only the citation. Clicking the 
button will check to see if the article is available online, and if not, it will check for a print version through Melvyl - the catalog for all 10 UC libraries.
What if there isn't a button? Sometimes you find an article in a bibliography, a book or a footnote -- and you want to see if we have it. The Citation Linker searches through our online databases to see if it is available fulltext. If not, it sets up a search for the paper journal in Melvyl. And if we don't have it at Berkeley, it lets you request it through Interlibrary Loan.
