Find It is our name for a “link resolver,” that is to say, our automated method to tell you if St Thomas owns a specific journal article. It is a fantastic time saver, though a little complex, even a tad confusing until you get the hang of it
You may have noticed the recently improved look of the Find It tool — a few design and some cosmetic changes have been made. So this may be a good time to review major Find It features.
In searching databases you will often come across citations that include the small Find It button. Find It retrieves/displays a lot of access information and lets you see if UST has the article you need and in what format.
