When your results first appear they will be in the "Table View". Select "Brief View" for more details about the publication, or "Full View" for the complete details of the item. The "Full View" can also be reached by clicking on the title. From the "Full View" select "Table View" to return to the original list of results.

Once I've searched in Supersearch, how do I find the full-text of an article or locate a book?

When you get your Result List in Super Search, bring up the full record by clicking the “Full View” link.

You may see a Find it @ UWA button next to the article record.

Clicking on the Find it @ UWA button will open a menu offering a number of services:

Find it online

This option will display if online access to the full text of the articles is available in one or more of the Library's electronic resources. There may be more than one option for full text. If the Library has subscribed to the full text via more than one provider there will be more than one link on the Services Menu.

Find it will attempt to take the user as close to the article level as possible, but it is not always possible to link to the articles itself. The "depth" of the link is controlled by the provider. Some further navigation may be required.

Find it in the library

This option checks the UWA Library catalogue to see if we hold the article in our print collections. This link will only show if online access to the article is not available.

Request from another library

If UWA does not hold the item either electronically or in print you can link to and submit a request to the Library's document delivery service Get it! This service is only available to UWA Staff, Postgraduate and Honours students.

Citation information

Download the citation to Endnote.

This option allows you to submit a query or problem to the Ask a Question service.
