Online Course Design and the Library

STEP 1:  Check if Adler Library has access to the journal article by following these steps.

STEP 2: If Adler Library has the full text of the article, use the PERMALINK in Canvas.  NOTE: It is essential that you use the Permalink because using the URL in the browser box will not work.

STEP 3:  If Adler Library does not have the full text of the article,

• Check RightFind Academic from the Copyright Clearance Center to verify if the journal allows digit sharing of its articles.
• Request a copy of the article through Adler Library Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad)

Best Practice: Choose material published in the last five years unless the article is foundational to the field.

If you have the citation for an article you want to use, search the Adler Library catalog to find the full text of the article.
