Hopefulgrad87 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I am trying to get access to the POI's recent articles, but the last 5 or so are all still too new to view through my current research engine means (using campus tools). I'd need to pay $40 to read each. Is it okay if I ask to read it from the POI? Or is this frowned upon? Thanks!
rising_star Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 You could. Or, you could make sure they aren't available via Google and then request them using your library's Interlibrary Loan service.

I've made very sure there's no means of obtaining them through Google. As for requesting through the library, I am using my ex's login for access, as my previous school has disabled my account since graduating. At least one of the journals does not appear to be one this library subscribes to. I'm not exactly sure how this would be handled in this case. If I did request it from the POI, you don't think it would appear like brown-nosing or anything? Thanks again!

Using your ex's login is probably unethical and a violation of the university's policy. Aside from that, the situation you described is precisely when ILL is used. Why would anyone need to have an article loaned if the school's library already subscribed to that journal? And yes, it will probably seem like brown-nosing at this stage in the game.

BeatrizBear Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Does your ex have access to ILL? They could ask for PDF copies of the articles that way.
