Do I have to pay for access to journal articles?

Answer

All articles accessed through USearch or one of the databases from your subject guides page are free to access.

If searching through Google scholar or another database, you may be asked to pay to access an article. If this happens, copy and paste the URL and article title and fill in the Journal Inter-Library Loan Form to request a copy of the article. To find out more about requesting articles visit our inter-library loans page.

Alternatively, you can download the Lean Library app which will pop up with a form for you to complete an article request.
