Requesting Articles and Book Chapters
f you're unable to find an article you need from one of Tisch's journal subscriptions, you can request a copy of the article from another library, through interlibrary loan.
Search Articles/Databases or E-Journals to find articles
- If the article you want has a full text link, click on it.
- If not, does your article have a
link? If so, click on it. This will lead you to either full text of your article, to the Tufts library catalog, or to ILLiad in order to make an interlibrary loan request. - If there is no full text link in the window, select the Tufts library catalog link. You will either see a full text link, holdings for a print subscription, or no information.
- If you see holdings for a print subscription, then you will find the bound periodical on the ground level.
- If you see no information, search the Electronic Journals list by periodical title.
- If you have not found the periodical you need, request it via ILLiad. NOTE: The most efficient way to do this is through the window, because the ILLiad request will be automatically populated with the data needed to process your request.
