Q. How do I find articles that are not available via StarPlus?

If you can't access an article that you need you have 2 options:

Option 1: Check if there is a legal, freely available copy.  The LibKey Nomad browser extension flags up open access journal articles, as well as articles we subscribe to, when you’re browsing the web. You will also see a link to click through and check access options in StarPlus.

Alternatively you could check Open Access sites directly.

Option 2: Request the article through the InterLibrary Request service.  We may be able to get a digital copy of the article for you from the British Library.

There are a few ways to place an interlibrary request:

Via StarPlus - Search for a journal article in StarPlus. Toggle the 'search beyond Library collections' option that is on the top left side of the StarPlus results page (below Refine My Results) to include articles that are no longer available in the Library’s collection. You can then use the InterLibrary request link to generate a request form for any article that is no longer available in fulltext.
