DePaul provides access to numerous full-text databases such as Academic Search Complete and Business Source Complete. Such databases offer access to the full-text of many diverse journals, magazines and newspapers.
It should be noted that, in some cases, these full-text databases are not an exact substitute for a full subscription to a journal. Coverage may not include every article, letter to the editor, or book review and it may exclude illustrations, charts, maps, and other graphics. Additionally, many of the journals included in these types of databases have embargo periods. This means that the publisher of an embargoed title does not allow the database to release the full-text content for a predetermined length of time (typically 6, 12, or 18 months). After the embargo period is over, the full-text will become available as it does for earlier issues of a journal.
