Some databases link directly to full-text articles. Look for the 'PDF' icon or a 'Linked Full Text' button. If you don't see either of these, try the 'Link to It' button. If you are still not getting to the full text, copy the title of the article and enter it in double quotes "" in Google Scholar - this may find the article in an institutional repository or at an author website. Try this if the ERIC database tells you an article is unavailable.
If you've tried the steps above, and can't get to the full article, you can order it through Inter-Library Loan. It's free, but usually takes a few days for articles to get to you.
If you're writing a paper or giving a formal presentation, don't forget to cite your sources! For education assignments, APA is one of the most frequently-requested formats.
