Upcoming trial of ArticleReach for all journal requests

The Library is planning to trial the use of Article Reach as the single form to be completed when requesting journal articles. The trial will commence on Monday 2nd May, 2011. The old intra-campus form will disappear from the catalogue on this date.

Currently when clients go into their My Library and click on the link “request items from Document Delivery” they will be given the choice of two options:

For articles not held in our collection – Use Article Reach Direct (they follow through instructions to do so)

For articles HELD in our collection – for use by distance/remote staff and students (they have a form on this page to complete)

The new format will only show the Article Reach Direct page and should be used for all articles required, whether not held or held (in the case of distance/remote requests). Clients should complete the required pages (home library and name/bar code)to come to the “Request an Article” form. Clients who are distance/remote staff or students requesting an item held by the library should indicate this information in the comments line.
