Tripod Catalog: A How-To Guide (BMC)

About the Books + Media + Articles Search

You may search for full-text articles available from many, but not all, of Bryn Mawr's electronic subscriptions (see full-text databases that are not included below). Articles can be searched simultaneously with library catalog materials using the Books + Media + Articles search scope.

By default, this search scope will only return articles for which the full text is readily available (i.e. articles from journals we currently subscribe to). If you would like Tripod to return results with articles available beyond the TriCo via interlibrary loan, you will need to check the box to the left of your results labeled "Include results without full text."

Refine your results menu with Include results without full text feature activated
