Getting the articles

In most databases you will see an IULink button. Click the IULink button beside the article you want to read. This opens another window with several options:

 

If the article is available online, there will be a link to it at the top.

Otherwise, use the IUCAT link to check for print availability. Look at the complete IUCAT record for the location and call number. Check the holdings: do we own the particular volume and

year where the article is published?

 

Consider the request article service: for when we own the print journal but you don’t want to trek to the shelf! From the IU Libraries home page, go to Services/Delivery/Request Article Delivery. We’ll scan and send you an electronic copy of the article within a few days—free!

 

If not found in IUCAT, request the item via IU-Bloomington Document Delivery Service (ILL). This generates an electronic form so we can get the article from another library. Most requests are filled in a week to 10 days.
