When you search across everything using the library's Spartan Search, you will only find full-text articles. See the video linked below for a quick introduction to using this tool. 

If you are searching in another database you may need to limit by Full Text. 

In EBSCO databases there is a 'Limit To' function where you can limit to only full text articles, articles with references available, and scholarly (peer reviewed) journals. It is located on the left hand side of the results screen after you have started a search. A screenshot of this is linked below.

If you are searching in the ProQuest databases, you can narrow the articles down by checking the 'full text' box underneath the search bar or by selecting 'full text' in the narrow results box on the left side of the screen. A screenshot of this is linked below.
