When you search using Library OneSearch on the library homepage, it pulls articles from a lot of different places.
To access an article, select the Access options button at the bottom of the article's information on the results page. This will direct you to either the PDF or HTML full text of the article. Occasionally, it will link out to another place that has direct access to the article.
Once you click on one of these links, it will usually take you to a page where there is another link you'll need to click on to get to the article.
Sometimes there is more than one place that has the article so you may see several links. Clicking on one of the links that says "View this article in full text from..." should get you to the article.
For example, if you searched for literary analysis Beowulf and limited your results to scholarly articles, many of the results contain Check for Full Text links.
When you click on that link for the article, "Returning to Heorot: Beowulf's famed hall and its modern incarnations," you are taken to the following page:
The listing tells you that you can get direct access to this article through the Project Muse database, and provides you with a link to go to that result. Click on that link to go there.
Once you click the link, you may immediately see the article or you may have to click on something like "Download PDF." It looks a little different depending on where the article "lives" but generally, you should get to the article eventually by clicking on anything that says "full text" or "Download PDF."
