To Find the Full-Text of references:

1. Select the references you want to find the PDFs of
2. Click on the “Find Full Text…” button on top navigation bar
3. Enter your UL network username and password as if you were logging into UL E-Resources
4. Click Continue when then mesage "You are now logged in off campus" appears
5. Read the Usage and Copyright Notice carefully and then select OK
6. If a PDF is found it will automatically attach to the reference

If EndNote cannot find the PDF this does not mean 100% that the full-text is not available through UL's subscriptions and collections as sometimes the automatic link may not work. You will need to check for the individual journal via the Library website to ensure that the article is not accessible in UL.

You may have URLs/links to articles or e-books in your EndNote Desktop or EndNote Online libraries which work perfectly on campus but when off campus you are asked to log in, even if you have already logged in via ezproxy. This is because when you log in off campus, the URL of every library resource you see is automatically altered to include "proxy.lib.ul.ie". This tells the database provider that you are affiliated with UL and are entitled to full text as normal.

If you click a URL such as http://isc.sagepub.com/content/42/2/78, on campus you will be able to access the article but off campus you will be asked to log in because you are not recognised.

To gain access to the full-text follow the steps below:.

1. Login to UL E-Resources in the top left hand corner of the library webpage
2. At the beginning of the article URL  insert http://proxy.lib.ul.ie/login?url= into the link e.g. http://proxy.lib.ul.ie/login?url=http://isc.sagepub.com/content/42/2/78. This will allow you to access the full text.
3. This will also work for DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) which are stable URLs to the same publisher URLs. For example, the above article can be found using the DOI 10.1177/10534512060420020601, i.e. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/10534512060420020601 or off campus at http://proxy.lib.ul.ie/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/10534512060420020601.
