Never pay for an article!!
In the absence of an easily accessible full text link...
If your search yields results with a "find it" button:
- Click on the
icon. If we do not have access to the article, choose the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) option.
- The ILL form will be populated for you; just click 'Submit'.
- You will usually receive the article by email in a couple of business days.
If your search yields results without a "find it" button:
- Go to tripod.haverford.edu.
- Sign into your account; this is very important!
- Copy the title of the article into the Tripod search box and click to only search 'Articles'.
- On the left-hand side of the results screen, click 'Expand my results'.
- When the correct article title appears, click the link; under 'How to Get It', either click the link to the article OR click 'Interlibrary Loan' (ILL).
- You will either get the full text article OR the ILL form will be populated for you; just click 'Submit'.
- You will usually receive ILL articles by email in a couple of business days.
In the absence of a Find it button or an interlibrary loan link, you can fill out and submit the interlibrary loan form manually.
But wait...that's not all! If you're really in a bind, you can also:
- Try pasting the article title into Google Scholar to see if there is a link to the full text.
- Try emailing the author and asking for a copy of the article.
