For Drew University Students:
Students may access pay-per-download articles from ScienceDirect journals outside of Drew University's Core Subscription package (see subscribed journal list in Table 1 below) by submitting a request through the Drew Library Chat feature (link: drewreference@chat.libraryh3lp) during select hours, Sun-Thurs; 6-10PM and Mon-Fri; 9-5PM, semesters only, or 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 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. |
