Re: [LIS-Forum] Article request - Good suggestion

Dear colleagues, Good to note that the topic is again coming for discussion. I had posted this several times on this forum requesting the professional's signature when they seek help from others. While sending request, many professional don't mention their organization. Many libraries may not be the members of Delnet... hence searching union catalog may be difficult. But professional who have membership with DELNET can do the search before posting and request the specific library for the help. Many professionals simply forward the link without bothering to see the content of the request. It becomes the responsibility of the helping person to open the link and then look for related resources in their databases. Our professionals should exert the minimum effort of opening the link and copy the contents to the body of the mail. This will help professionals to decide on type of resources to search in their databases without opening the link. Along with Goudar and Manjunath, I too request our professionals to open the content of the link, check in union catalog/nearby libraries/ send request to specific library with details of the papers in the body itself rather than just sending a link. Finally, please add your signature in your mails so that others know your details while responding to your request. Your signature many times may yield good results. Libraries who have not taken delnet membership can attempt to take it as it helps searching Union catalog when requests come from users. Wish you happy Deepavali.

Professionals who need articles need to first check the online union catalogue of journals and identify where such journals are available. The request then may be sent to the specific library rather than simply posting the request on e-discussion forum.

A good suggestion by Vasumati. Many a times we don't do basic home work and simply post the requirements through Lis-Forum. Waste of time and effort for many.

The article is available free online at

http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.4161/21505594.2014.984567 (pdf is also free)

A general tip - before asking on this forum, please try pasting the title in Google, Google Scholar and Researchgate. Google and Google scholar can get you the links to the full text, if free. If not, very often the author is on RG and can be requested for the article

Please teach these tips to your users too
