To request individual journal articles use the links on the library homepage to access either the on-campus or off-campus forms. Follow these instructions to complete those forms.
1. Complete as many fields of the on-campus Article Request form as you can with the citation data you have available. If you have a PubMed ID (PMID) number for the article, place it in the PMID box to auto-fill the rest of the form. Required fields are Journal Title and Article Title. Use the Special Instructions field to note any special handling you'd like for your request. Note this field is limited to 40 characters. When you've completed the form, click the Submit button. |

2. You will receive a popup indicating that the library has received your request. You till then be taken to the Pending Requests, where you can see the status of all of your open requests. Completed requests and the associated article PDFs can be found on the Filled Requests tab. If you need to submit another request, use the Request Item(s) tab to complete the form again. If you have a list of articles, consider using the multi-article request form. |

2. Scroll to the lower part of the form and choose a Delivery Priority based on how quickly you need the article. Note: Emergency requests should only be used for urgent Patient Care needs. Adjust the Not Wanted After Date as needed. By default, it is set to one year from today's date. This means we will try to fill your request for up to one year before retiring it. Most requests are filled within a few days. The next part of the form contains information about copyright restrictions. The Library will contact you if your request exceeds what we are allowed to provide due to copyright.
When you have completed the form, click the Submit Request button at the bottom.
