Does QUT Library have the full text (usually the PDF) of the paper?

Finding journal articles: If the library subscribes to a journal title it will be listed in Library Search (along with the coverage dates of our subscription access entitlement).  See Search tips for finding a journal for more detail.

Finding conference papers: Whilst most conference proceedings are findable via Library Search, given the irregularity of conferences and their propensity to change title these publications are more challenging to track. It is not possible therefore, to say with absolutely certainty that 100% of our conference proceedings are listed in Library Search. The advent of DOI has however helped greatly in this regard. Also an Any field search for keywords (taken from the corporate name) can often turn up the conference proceeding that you require.
