Q. I think I should have access to this article online, but the website is asking me to pay for it. How can I get the article?

Faculty, staff, students, and affiliates of University of Maryland, College Park do not need to pay for access to articles that are accessible through UMD Libraries' resources. Oftentimes, if you are off-campus, the Library website might not recognize you as a faculty, staff, student, or affiliate of UMD. If you are having difficulty accessing resources or told you need to pay for access, try the steps below:

1. Use the reload button to help you reload the page through the UMD Libraries' proxy.
2. Search for the resource in UMD Discover and click on the full-text link through UMD Discover. 
3. Try clearing your cache in your web browser.

If the above methods do not work, please complete our Report a Problem form to let us know you are unable to access a resource we should have access to.

In the meantime, if you need access to the article, and have submitted the Report a Problem form, you may always submit an Inter Library Loan request for the article.
