How do I access Full Text in ScienceDirect?
Answer
The library does not have access to everything within ScienceDirect. Those articles and books that are available through the library's subscription will say "Download PDF."
If it says Purchase PDF or "Get Access" at the top of the screen like the image below, then it will needed to be requested through Interlibrary Loan. Though some may books may be found in ProQuest eBook Central so search that first before using Interlibrary Loan for books.
Sometimes it will ask you to login or ask you to pay. There is no login that will get you access even if you set up a ScienceDirect account. There is also no need to pay for articles or book chapters, you can request them for free through Interlibrary Loan and you'll be sent a PDF.
If you need further help, please contact a librarian.
