     This Month's Stories

 

Getting articles not available from UTA Libraries

Can't find a print or online version of an article? You can obtain it through "Ingenta" or regular Interlibrary Loan.

If you need an article quickly, you may try to order it through Ingenta. This database contains citations from over 11 million articles in all disciplines. If Ingenta has a citation for the article, you may order it through UTA Libraries' account. The article will arrive via electronic, fax, or Ariel delivery.

When prompted, select "Account" for payment method in Ingenta. It is not necessary to use your credit card to order from Ingenta. You only need to register for a username and password to fully utilize Ingenta's services.

If an article is not available through Ingenta, fill out the Interlibrary Loan Request for Photocopy form. You should receive a photocopy of the item within one or two weeks. To expedite the process, please provide as much information about the article as possible.
