    What To Do If You Can't Find the Articles You Need

    Help!  I need an article not available online.

    If you find a citation for an article that is not available to you online, you have options to get that article.

    1.  Ask a librarian for help.  Librarians are experts in finding articles for you.

    2.  Check our Journal Search - search for a journal, magazine, or newspaper to find out if the library has access.

    3.  Interlibrary Loan - we can order an article for you from another library - this normally takes several days to receive the article.  There is no fee to UAS students for Interlibrary Loans. 

    Never pay for an article on a publisher's website - ask a librarian for help and you'll save both time and money.
