1. How do I get a copy of a document in your database?

Check the Notes section at the bottom of the database citation to see if it contains a URL. We try to include the URL whenever availalbe, but the older documents in our collection are not available in digital form.
Search for the document's title or author in a search engine or subscription database for a full-text copy.
Check to see if the document's source (journal, book) is available from your local libraries.
If none of the above approaches proves successful, send us the document numbers and titles. We might be able to help you gain access, as long as we're within copyright guidelines. Shorter documents can often be scanned and sent electronically. In the case of longer copies, we can help arrange for access through options such as interlibrary loan.
