When you see "Access options" in a library database, this means that we may only have a summary of the article in the database you’re searching. However, we might have the full article in a different library database.
By clicking "Access options", you can determine whether or not we have the full article in our database.
Click on the drop-down menu under Access options. If the full article is available, you’ll see "PDF" or "Online full text".
