ScienceDirect (SD)-- How to access ScienceDirect articles.

For Drew University Students:

Drew Library has made a change to the way students will access journal articles outside of Drew University's ScienceDirect core subscription package.

BACKGROUND: For the last six months, Drew Library had been testing a model where registered Drew users on ScienceDirect were individually accessing content outside of our core subscription on a pay-per-use basis. In order to more efficiently use Drew Library's pay-per-use funds and avoid duplication of requests, students will use the Interlibrary Loan system (illiad.drew.edu) to request articles outside our subscriptions; Interlibrary Loan will then download and supply the articles through ILLiad.

Step-by-step guide

To obtain the desired article:

Click on the "Search For Article" button after closely examining the article abstract in ScienceDirect
Then, click “Request through InterLibrary Loan” on the bottom of the following screen.
Sign into your ILLiad account and the article information will automatically fill in the appropriate spots in the form.
Type '0' in the spot marked “Max you are willing to pay”
Click “Submit request”.

You should receive the article in 24 - 72 hours after submitting your request.

Please contact the Research Help Desk at the Library (973- 408-3588) or email reference@drew.edu if you have additional questions or concerns.

Access for Faculty and Staff has not changed.
