How do I obtain an article from a citation found in Ei Compendex/INSPEC databases or (Engineering Village) when it is not available in full text?

(Either JavaScript is not active or you are using an old version of Adobe Flash Player. Please install the newest Flash Player.)

Suppose I am looking for the following article found in Ei Compendex (Engineering Village) database:

Interface constrained growth for size control nanofabrication: Mechanism and experiments
Chen, Kunji (National Laboratory of Solid State Microstructures, Department of Physics, Nanjing University); Chen, Kai; Han, Peigao; Zhang, Lin; Huang, Xinfan Source: International Journal of Nanoscience, v 5, n 6, December, 2006, p 919-925
Database: Compendex

Clicking on Full Text, requires us to enter ‘Username’ and ‘Password’.  The Library does not subscribe to ‘International Journal of Nanoscience’ either in Print or Electronic form at present.

Clicking on the  ‘SFX’ takes us to InterLibrary Loan (ILLiad) Link. Click on Go. Fill up the Interlibrary Loan Request form after you logon.

Some fields are automatically populated from the citation record of the article in Ei copmpendex.
Make sure that you fill all the required fields including the one for the ‘Year’ when the paper was published.
You will be able to access your requested articles through your iLLiad account in the electronic form as soon as they are available.

For more information, please refer to: ILLiad

What is Tagging? How do I use Tagging and Groups features available in Engineering Village? How do I receive RSS feeds for my searches in Engineering Village?

According to wikipedia article, “A tag is a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an internet bookmark, digital image, or computer file). This kind of metadata helps describes an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching.”

See also Tag (Metadata) article for more information on Tagging.

With Engineering Village tagging you can add, edit and share tags you assigned to records. Tagging records on Engineering Village requires having a personal account.

See: Introduction to Tags & Groups, Tagging a Record, and Creating Groups for more information.
