Don't do it!
If you use Google for research, you might come across articles in databases like JSTOR. You may be unable to access these articles because you are not logged in through the Libraries.
If JSTOR is asking you to pay for an article, search for the article's title in the Novanet search bar on the Dalhousie Libraries website. If you find the article, click the title, then click on any of the access options listed under "Full text availability" to read the article. If you're off campus, you will be prompted to log in with your NetID and password.
If Dalhousie has access to an article, you will find a heading that says "Full text availability" with one or more links below it. These are access points to connect with the article - you can select any of them.
If Dalhousie does not have access to an article, you will instead see an option for "Resource sharing." There will be no options listed for full text availability.
Click on "Resource Sharing" to find options for accessing the full text of the article. If this screen doesn't appear, log into Novanet with your NetID and password. You can then select "Request item via Document Delivery" and fill out the document delivery form.
Tip: Dalhousie Libraries will contact you via email with the article link, so be sure to check your Dal email.
If you encounter online material that can't be accessed, it doesn't hurt to try again in a different browser, check your internet connection, and ensure that you're logged in if you're off-campus.
Sometimes online material is broken or lost. Please let us know so we can fix it for you. Before closing your window or tab, fill out our Online Resources Help Form and describe the issue as best as you can.
Tip: Common problems that you might encounter include broken links on the library website, electronic books with broken links, eBook titles listed before they are available, empty records for books in the library, journals to which we no longer have access, or other potential errors. Please help us continue to improve the website by letting the library know when you find an error!
