SFX button has been activated in our most of subscribed databases. The button usually shows up in the search results page when full-text is not available in the database you are searching or not part of the Library's subscription.
When clicking on SFX button, the user is redirected to the link resolver, which displays links to the selected article. The user can then click those links to access the article in the Library holdings.
If the article is not found in SFX, ILLiad document delivery service appears, which will auto-populate the order form with citation information. The patron doesn't have to re-type the article title, volume, pages, etc.
Activating SFX button usually can be done through the admin website of a database. One thing I should mention is that the admin websites for different databases are quite like apples and oranges, the syntax for generating a link for SFX is different, and also for some databases, such as JSTOR, Project MUSE, such request should be submitted to the vendors, so it will take a while to finish this task.
Besides, not all databases support SFX button, such as LexisNexis. According to the product manager from LexisNexis, the academic is over 90% full text so they don’t provide such service. Please see the list of databases we have activated the SFX button.
