Requesting Full Text

Article Galaxy Scholar provides UConn faculty (including emeriti and adjunct) and graduate students the ability to request rapid delivery of articles from a small number of selected journals. This service is available 24/7. The UConn Library launched Article Galaxy Scholar in December 2021 and the service is now a permanent part of operations.

• Articles from these publishers are available via Article Galaxy Scholar:
  • Springer
  • Cambridge
  • Elsevier
• Article Galaxy Scholar works in conjunction with our Interlibrary Services to provide access to journal articles. Articles that are not available via Article Galaxy Scholar are provided by our Interlibrary Services department.
• There is no limit on the number of requests for articles when using the "Get this PDF" link for UConn faculty and graduate students.

Articles are for individual research use only and are not eligible to be used for class use. For help or guidance on how to obtain articles and other materials to post on HuskyCT please contact Access and Visitor Services at askcirc@uconn.edu.  

If you receive the accepted manuscript version or prepublication version of an article and would like to receive the article version of record, please contact Interlibrary Services at udoc@uconn.edu.

"Get this PDF (formerly ExpressPDF/Request a PDF)" appears as a link when searching for articles in which the library does not have full text, much like requesting articles from Interlibrary Loan.  

When you click on the "Get this PDF (formerly ExpressPDF/Request a PDF" link, you will be asked to log in with your NetID and password.  If the article is available through Article Galaxy Scholar where you can select "Request PDF", otherwise you will be directed to a pre-populated ILLiad form for regular interlibrary loan processing.  

• You will be notified in a hour or less via your UConn email address when the article is available.  Articles originally published in HTML will take longer.
• Check your UConn email for a message from "Reprints Desk".  This email contains a link to download your article.
• Once you are emailed your article link, you will only be able to download the article from this link five times.  We recommend saving the article to your computer or mobile device as soon as you get the article.   
• Articles are available using the provided link for 30 days to download the article. 
• If you don't receive your article in a timely manner, check your SPAM filter and add "reprintsdesk.com" to your list of permitted senders
