Getting the Full Text

Articles

You can get copies of articles anyplace in the world using ILLiad. After you activate your free ILLiad account, you request items electronically by completing the ILLiad forms.

is a "linking service" that finds electronic copies of articles in services for which Lehigh has a subscription. It also links to ILLiad and is included in many of our Electronic Resources. One of the cool things it does is fill out ILLiad forms for you. SFX's Citation Linker is useful when you find a reference in a source that isn't itself electronic.

Books

If you need a book that appears in ASA, you can email the Document Delivery office and request that it be mailed to you (or call the office at (610) 758-3055). There is no charge for sending a book to you, but you are responsible for the expense of sending it back.

If you need a book that Lehigh does not own, check with local libraries to see what borrowing and/or interlibrary loan services they offer. The database WorldCat enables you to locate what libraries own a book.
