Watzek staff will scan journal articles and book chapters available in Watzek's print or microform collections for Lewis & Clark faculty and graduate students.
Materials will usually be scanned and posted within three business days of a request. If an article is not available locally in print or microform, it will be requested via Interlibrary Loan and should be available within seven business days.
Users will receive a notice via email when an item is posted to their Interlibrary Loan & Article Delivery account. Scanned materials will be available for 30 days.
Requests should only be submitted after checking for existing full-text access via the L&C catalog and databases. Requests can be made directly from most research databases using the
button. This method will open a new window with details on accessing the journal. If the article is available in Watzek's print or microform collections and not already available online, a link to proceed with a campus delivery request will be available at the bottom of the window. From that link, users will be prompted to confirm the article information and submit the request.
The Article Delivery request form can also be completed manually, though the method above ensures that the most complete and accurate citation information will be provided to Watzek staff. If the form is filled out manually, please provide citations without abbreviations.
A confirmation message will be delivered via email once a request is submitted.
Please be as judicious as possible when submitting requests. In order to comply with the Fair Use provisions of U.S. copyright law, users should not request more than one article from a single journal issue or one chapter from an individual book. Requests may be rejected if, in our judgement, fulfillment of the request would involve a violation of copyright law (Title 17, United States Code).
To place articles from print and microform collections on reserve, faculty may submit an Article Delivery request using the same procedures listed above. At the bottom of the request form, faculty should check the appropriate box and enter the course to which the article should be linked. Of course, the library will need a completed Copyright Compliance form if one has not already been submitted for the course.
