Once you've completed your search, use the "Find it at Drew" button  to find the full text of the article. Then skip to Once you're looking at the full text of the article However, for expert advice, or if you just run into trouble finding an online version of the article you want, contact your reference librarian for help.

Starting with a Known Item Citation

If you know the citation for the article you want:

  1. Go to Scholarsearch and search for the article by title. 
  2. Click on "Find it at Drew" to locate full-text if a pdf or HTML link is not immediately displayed. 
  3. If the article must be requested through interlibrary loan, a pdf copy of the article (once received by the faculty member) can be made available to students in Moodle.

Science Direct

1. Most articles obtained from ScienceDirect (SD) will need to be uploaded to Moodle so that students may access a pdf. This practice makes better use of the Library's "pay per use" purchase agreement with SD. Please contact the Library via email (reference@drew.edu) with questions or for help. For more info about ScienceDirect, please go HERE.

If the article is available Open Access or through one of our regular subscriptions (i.e. PDF is readily available through SD), link the article by right-clicking on the link right above the title of the article, starting doi.

And choose Copy Link Location or Copy Shortcut.
(You won't need to append anything to this link; it will automatically have the Ezproxy part included.)

 




Special Case: Artstor

1. Select/Highlight your image on the search screen, then go to the Share menu and choose Generate Image URL:


2. In the window that appears, select and copy the"Image Viewer URL"

 

What if it's none of these?

Look for a "Permanent Link", "Permalink" "Stable URL" or DOI link, and Right click on and copy (choose "Copy Shortcut" or "Copy Link Location") that.

If the word "ezproxy" doesn't appear in the link that you copy, prepend 

http://ezproxy.drew.edu/login?url=

to the front of the link when pasting it.

Or, contact your reference librarian for help.
