Full Text: A full text designation does not represent the *full content* of any given journal. The extent of the full text-"ness" of a database is left to the discretion of the publisher of the individual journals. Many times, they do not include classifieds, advertisements, cartoons, charts & graphs, photographs, and anything else extraneous to the text itself. Furthermore, because of copyright restrictions, not all the journals indexed in a full text database will be available full text. You can immediately identify whether the full text is or is not available on-line, from the citation.
