Find It is a linking system which allows you to link directly from a citation in a database to online items available through Curtin. Find It also provides links to the Curtin catalogue and other services, including web searches and our e-DocDel service.
If Find It is available you will see the following logo: 
The logo may appear when using Gecko or individual databases which can be accessed from the Library web pages.
A Find It menu will also be offered when you use Article Find It or Find e-Journal.
If you are searching in Gecko or an individual database look for the Find It logo which can be found next to your citation. Please note the logo may appear in either the brief or detailed view of the citation.
Clicking on the Find It logo will open the Find It menu:
The menu above offers options available for the requested article at Curtin. You can click on the Fulltext Online link to access your online article from either Business Source Premier or Proquest ABI/INFORM Global.
You can click on Search Curtin Library Catalogue to see if the journal is held in print.
You may also click on the arrow for more options such as Document Delivery, Download to EndNote.
Curtin staff and students can use Find It and it is available both on and off campus. You may be asked to sign in using your Curtin ID and password. Refer to Curtin ID & Password Information for more details.
You might be using a database that does not link to Find It or you may be in a database where you have to click on the full record to see the logo.
Find It links have been available from Google Scholar for some time now but you may be unaware that in order to see these links, off campus users must (1) be authenticated or (2) set up preferences in Google Scholar.
(1) Authentication: The simplest way you can do this is to access Google Scholar through our Databases A-Z or Gecko.
(2) Setting up preferences: in Google Scholar click on Scholar Preferences, enter Curtin in the Library Links box, click on Find Library and, when Curtin University of Technology (Find It @ Curtin) appears, tick the box alongside it and save preferences. Once this is done our Find It links will be seen.
It is possible that there is no online version available for your journal through the Curtin University Library. You will only be offered the option to link to the article if the Curtin University Library has access to the online version.
If Find It does not provide you with a link to your article try using the other services offered on the menu including a search of the Curtin catalogue.
There is overlap among our many electronic journal collections and online databases, so sometimes you will find that the journal is available online in more than one place.
Find It tries to get you as close to the article as it can. Often because of the structure of the publisher's web site Find It cannot link directly. Sometimes the best Find It can do is to take you to the table of contents or the journal's home page, and you have to navigate the publisher's site to find the article.
If the item you are seeking is very recent, it is possible it has not been loaded on the web site, so Find It cannot retrieve it. You can try searching for your item again directly on the web site but unfortunately you may have to wait for the publisher to add the full text to their site.
Another problem could be that the Find It links need to be updated. Please let us know about any problems you may have so that we can try and fix them.
