Document Delivery
You may want to see the full text of an article that has been summarised in a bibliographic database or quoted as a reference in another information source. Some libraries, resources on the Internet and other organisations can provide access to full text or can arrange to have it delivered to you by web, fax or post.
Costs for this document delivery service vary widely ranging from zero to more than $50. It is, therefore, very worthwhile to investigate a number of different service providers to ensure that you get the best possible deal.
Note that it is always a good idea to first check if your own library holds what you want.
Here are some examples of document delivery/full text access services:
- MetaPress
- Blackwell Synergy
- Wiley InterScience
- ScienceDirect
- Directory of Open Access Journals (Provides FREE access to articles)
- The British Library
- CISTI
- Ingenta
