One-Stop Shopping for Journal Articles

Can’t find the full text of an article? Does the publisher ask for payment or a login ID? Want quick access to articles without leaving the database you're currently searching? Click on the button “SFX@TSRI” (see below), which appears with article abstracts in all Kresge Library databases, to view a menu of available options for a given article, including full-text links or a link to request a copy via the ILLiad interlibrary loan system.

Simply log onto ILLiad, and SFX fills out the request form automatically. PubMed users should bookmark the customized “PubMed for Scripps Research” to view the correct buttons. Try it out on your next search or ask a library staff member for a demonstration.
