The following guidelines will help our staff deliver the fastest, most accurate service:

• Check on the status of your requests by logging into your ArticleExpress account and navigating down to "Reviewing requests."

There is no limit on the number of requests you can submit via the service, however we suggest that you submit no more than 5 per day.

Keep requests for an article or chapter to 50 scanned pages or fewer. Please limit requests to no more than 3 chapters from the same book or 3 articles from the same journal issue. Our document suppliers may not fulfill requests for more than these amounts.

We cannot fulfill request scans of entire journals or books due to copyright law. If you need more than 50 pages or 3 chapters, please check out the book or request it via BorrowDirect.
