For Drew University Students:
Students should access pay-per-download articles from ScienceDirect journals outside of Drew University's Core Subscription package by using the Interlibrary Loan system (illiad.drew.edu). See instructions below. Depending on when the request is submitted, Interlibrary Loan will supply the desired article(s) somewhere between 24 - 72 hours.
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. See screenshot below.
- 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.
Drew University Faculty and Staff Users
PLEASE NOTE: As of 01/01/15, access to pay-per-download content from ScienceDirect via Faculty/Staff username and password is fully restored. When buying pay-per-download content, please click the purchase icon at the top of the page rather than the one mid-page. We are working with ScienceDirect to correct a problem with the mid-page purchase icon (or have it removed entirely)-- it currently does not allow the user to complete a purchase. Please contact Drew Univ Library at reference@drew.edu with questions. |
