  3. First Step • Go to theCentennial College Libraries website at: • library.centennialcollege.ca

  4. If you are outside the College network (at home) you will need to login with your student number and your PIN (last 4 numbers of your student number).

  5. Accessing Full Text • The full text of articles from a CINAHL record come from a number of sources: • Other Library databases including ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health, Science Direct, YourJournals@Ovid and Health Source Nursing Academic Edition • Hard copy journals subscribed to by the Library – look for these on the Periodical Shelves

  6. Accessing Full Text (cont.) • If the Library doesn’t have the article, we can try getting it for you from another library however, please ask us at least three days in advance before you need the article

  7. You can print, download and, depending on the database, email the article to yourself. • Many of the databases also have citation tools, sometimes in the email function, to help you format your article citation into APA style.

  8. Good Luck! Ask for help if you need it.
