InterLibrary Loan

ILL is a valuable service for getting journal articles that are not electronic in the databases or available in print in the Library. If after selecting the button you discover that there is no full text and the Library does not have the article in print you will see a link to ILLIAD, the Library's interLibrary loan service. Simple click on the "GO" button to be taken to a screen where you can log in using your last name and 16 digit ID number. The Library will have the article photocopied or scanned at a Library that has it and it will be sent in paper or in electronic format. You will receive an email to your campus account in 3-7 days letting you know in what format it is in. All articles are FREE regardless of length.

You can also access interLibrary loan directly at:

Public Web Resources

Google Scholar -- Google Scholar is a service that provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. You can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, books theses, dissertations, universities, publisher's websites, and scholarly organizations.

Please note the following:

All on campus computers are configured to allow you to see if the library has an article in full text when searching Google Scholar. If you are connecting from off-campus or from home you will need to do the following:

• Go to Google Scholar preferences
• Enter "uw green bay " in the Library Links Search Box
• Check the UW-Green Bay - Find It @ UW-Green Bay option
• save preferences
  
  After you have completed a Scholar search you will notice the following links added to some result items:
  
  Find It @ UW-Green Bay - this will take you to a "SFX" window which will allow you to link to the full-text document. In some cases the full text may not be available in which case you will be allowed to submit an interlibrary loan request.
  
  The Cofrin Library has registered some of its holdings with Google so some full text content can be accessed directly via the Google Scholar interface. So it's now possible in some cases to search Google Scholar and link directly to the full text of journal articles when they are available through Cofrin Library Resources
