Look for:

1. How quickly will you usually receive a scanned PDF of an article that you request via Interlibrary Loan?

In this course, your instructor will often provide citations of articles on your blackboard course site, and you will need to find the full text of each article to read it for the course.

Here are 4 methods to get to full text - at least one of these should work for any article citation.

The  3 primary methods below use this APA style article citation:

Pattyn, E., Mahieu, N., Selfe, J., Verdonk, P., Steyaert, A., & Witvrouw, E. (2012). What predicts functional outcome after treatment for patellofemoral pain?Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 44(10), 1827-1833. doi:10.1249/MSS.0b013e31825d56e3 

Method 1:

Search for the article title using Library One Search - this is the search box you'll see on your MyASU page when you click the book stack Library link, and the search box you'll see on the ASU Library home page: https://lib.asu.edu

• Look at the citation for the article you need to find.  Copy and paste the doi (10.1249/MSS.0b013e31825d56e3) or the article title, "What predicts functional outcome after treatment for patellofemoral pain?," into the Library One Search box, then click 'Search Library.'  When you see the article title listed in your Library One Search results,
• Click on the title for full text options.

If you see no full text, look for an Option linking you to "Interlibrary Loan," then sign in and use your Illiad account to request the full text of the article.

Method 2:

Search for the article title using Google Scholar - there is a tab for Google Scholar on the search box you'll see on your MyASU page when you click the book stack Library link, and the search box you'll see on the ASU Library home page: https://lib.asu.edu

• Click on the Google Scholar tab
• Copy and paste the doi (10.1249/MSS.0b013e31825d56e3) or the article title, "What predicts functional outcome after treatment for patellofemoral pain?," into the Google Scholar Search box, then click 'Search.'  When you see the article title listed in your Google Scholar search results,
• Click on the 'Get it @ ASU' link for full text options.

Method 3: 

Search for the article title using PubMed (an open access research database for health research) - there is a link for "All Research Databases" underneath the search box you'll see on your MyASU page when you click the book stack Library link, and in the gray bar across the ASU Library home page: https://lib.asu.edu

• Click on the View Resources link
• Click on the quick link to the PubMed Research Database
