How do I order an article if I have the citation?
Answer
Follow these steps:
- Open a new tab and in that tab go to the library home page
- Click on the "Article Search" tab above the main search box, and log in when prompted
- Username = lastname, password = Alliant ID#
- Paste the title of the article into the first search box and click Search
- Click Full Text Finder under the search result for the article
- At the next screen, click "Can't Find It? Click here..." [if you don't see this link, request the article manually by going to the library home page and clicking Services | Interlibrary Loan]
- This will bring up the citation in the Rapido interlibrary loan system. Click the Get It button to log in, and then once the screen refreshes, click Get It again.
- Confirm your email address is correctly displayed, check the box to acknowledge copyright requirements, and click Send.
