MEDLINE

Use MEDLINE to find records for journal articles, including the Journal of Physical Chemistry A, B, & C.

Interlibrary Loan

Remember, MEDLINE is an index database.  That means that no full text articles are available for download.

However, if you have looked closely at the 'Refine Results' menu on the left side of your search results screen, you will see an option to limit to 'Linked Full Text'.  What this means is that if the full text for an article is available in another database the library has access to, you can access it that way.  

The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, B, & C are NOT available in full text in any of the library databases.  This means that you will need to request a copy of the article from the library using our interlibrary loan service.  There is NO CHARGE for current Newman students to request journal article copies.

What you need to do to request a journal article copy:

1. Click the link labelled "Request the item through interlibrary loan" which is below the article on the search results page or on the left-hand menu of the record page for the item. This will open a form in the new window.
2. Fill out the requested contact information in the form (the article information should auto-populate). Click submit.
3. You will be notified by email when your item had arrived.
