How do I download a PDF from a database? 

If you need an electronic copy of an article from a database, you can easily obtain a PDF version directly from the hosting database. In most databases, the process will work like this:

  • Access the database of your choice
  • Search for the article by title, or perform a keyword search to find the source(s) you need
  • Select a specific item and review its catalog record
  • Click the Download button to begin the download process

That's it! A PDF copy of the item will be downloaded to your device. Be sure to save the item after the download process is complete.
