To locate the full-text of the cited document (commonly a journal article or conference paper) search the QUT Library catalogue (and perhaps other library catalogues) for the source publication. The source publication is usually either a periodical title, or a published conference proceeding. QUT library holds / subscribes to only a selection of the source publications indexed by services.
Methods of searching for the source publication can vary. Commonly, you search by title, corporate author (useful for conferences) or keyword.
