How can I access what I need if the Libraries does not subscribe to a specific journal?

Answer

There are several ways to get articles and research materials that we don’t have.

Here are some options you may explore to gain access:

  1. Install browser plug-ins like Open Access Button, Unpaywall, and Kopernio which will point you to available versions of articles you find online
  2. Find preprints and other freely available versions on sites like ResearchGate, SSRN, and discipline-specific preprint servers
  3. Request articles through interlibrary loan
  4. Send a request to the corresponding author – many authors are open to receiving requests for articles via social networking sites or their personal website
