Getting Articles (Not held by WU Libraries)

ArticleReach is generally a very quick way to get articles that WU doesn't own. 

You can also request books, articles, and some DVDs through Interlibrary Loan.  There are no fees for either of these services.

  • ArticleReach Direct  
    ArticleReach Direct works much like Interlibrary Loan (below) and is often faster for locating articles. Articles are posted to your account in My Catalog usually within 2-3 days. You can also use My Catalog to check on the status of your requests.
  • Interlibrary Loan  
    Obtain books, articles, and other research materials you need. All articles will be posted electronically in your ILLiad account usually within 3-7 days. Books are available for pickup usually within 1-2 weeks at Olin's Help Desk. Notified via email.
 

Citing Sources

Need some help citing those articles you just found? 

Check out Harvard's tutorial, APA Exposed: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About APA Format but Were Afraid to Ask, or use RefWorks, a citation manager that the Libraries subscribe to.

 

Featured Resource

  • SpringerImages  
    SpringerImages is a searchable database of scientific images, photos, graphs, histograms, figures, and tables. The SpringerImages interface enables users to search through captions, keywords, context and more, even jumping from the image to the source article. Users can create personalized image "sets," and can easily export images for use in their own presentations or lectures (usually limited to educational, personal, scientific, or research purposes.)
