Submitting Article Requests From Within a Database

Many databases supply a ready-to-use form which will fill in information about the journal article for you. The following will show you how to find out if the database you are using has such a form.

After finding an article that you want, click on the Article Linker icon.

If the article is not available, you may request that the library order the article for you.

The link "Article Request Form" on this page will not fill in the name of the journal, article title, and volume information for you.
