What is SFX?
“SFX” is a new linking service that makes it easier to find full text, online journal articles. The library home page has a link to “All Full Text Journals”. This link will take you to all our available electronic journals. You will also see an SFX icon when you search for journal articles in databases like ATLA and Academic Search Premier. Clicking on the SFX icon will help you locate the journal article in other databases. (Note: If you are connecting from off campus, you may still have to login separately to those databases in order to access the article.) If you have any questions about SFX, please contact us in the library — (630)620-2104; library@seminary.edu.
SFX is a tool provided by the TAMU Libraries that creates shortcuts to the full text of online articles, as well as links to other library services. The name SFX is an abbreviation for “special effects” and was chosen by the company that designed this tool. When you see SFX in an electronic resource, simply click on the button to see a menu of options for the citation of interest. These options may include: • Links to the full text of an article regardless of the content provider • Automated searching of the library catalog for our print or electronic holdings SFX saves you time – you no longer need to write down a citation and then go to the catalog to see if the Library owns the publication. SFX does the work for you!
