How to get to the full-text when it isn't provided in the database

Sometimes you need to use UBC elink

UBC eLink is a tool to take you from the citation in an index (e.g. Web of Science) to the full text article in the ejournal (if available online) and/or to the location of the print journal.

For example, you can see the UBC eLink button on the article citation below:
