Q. I'm a grad student at UMBC but cannot access a journal article on your site even though I signed in. How can I get access to this article?

Due to publisher and copyright restrictions, even for students at other Maryland Universities, remote access to online resources such as databases and e-journal are only available to currently registered UMD students and currently employed faculty and staff .
You have a few options here:

First, double-check that you cannot access the article through UMBC.  If that says not available online, try Googling the title of the article, as occasionally the full-text will have already been uploaded to the web and may be available for free.

Second, you can come to UMD and request a guest pass from any of the libraries and use our public computers to access the article.

If neither of those options works, you can request the article through your Interlibrary Loan service.

Access is based on your university affiliation, and ILL requests also start with your library. So, in the future, please remember that staff at UMBC's library can often help you better than those of us here at College Park (even though we have the article in question).
