Borrowing/Buying Non-SBGI Books/Journals

Borrowing

You will first identify the title of a book you want using library catalogs, bibliographies, or other sources. Once you identify a title, you may want to check SBGI Library catalog first. Then check your local public library or a university or college library where you have borrowing privileges.* They may have the book on their shelves. If not, your public library may be able to get it for you through interlibrary loan, and it's usually free.

BOOKS FROM PUBMED, MEDLINE, ETC.

For books identified using Medline on Pubmed, HealthStar, Complementary and Alternative Medicine, or other databases published by the National Library of Medicine, you can request interlibrary loan service (Loansome Doc) at your nearest participating medical library.

JOURNAL ARTICLES

Borrowing

• You will probably use databases, or bibliographies, or other sources to identify journal articles that you want. If SBGI does not have the journal article you want, there are a number of ways to find it:

• If you are in California you can check:
Melvyl to see which University of California libraries own the journal, or check one of the Cal State University libraries near you. Then you can go in and use that journal in their library.

• You can order the journal article on interlibrary loan through your local public library, or any library where you have interlibrary loan privileges.

• A few journals are available for free on the Web. You can check to see if your title is one of them, using a search engine.

• For journal articles that you identify using Medline on Pubmed, HealthStar, Complementary and Alternative Medicine, or other databases published by the National Library of Medicine, you can request interlibrary loan service (Loansome Doc) at your nearest participating medical library.

Purchasing Journal Articles:

• You can purchase individual articles using one of many fee-based document delivery suppliers, such as:

Please contact them directly for prices and ordering information.

*Despite developments in the electronic delivery of information, access to the physical collections of academic research libraries is essential to graduate level research. Individual consultations are held with each student to determine which additional resources in their home communities to point them toward for in-depth research.
