Journals may also be searched by subject.
If we don't have the article you need in either an electronic or print format, you
may request the article from us through interlibrary loan (ILL). If there is not
an ILL electronic form available on the article page in the database, then visit
http://www.saintpetershcs.com/MedicalLibrary/
ElectronicForms/ArticleRequestForm.aspx and complete the form to request
articles that are not available from the above-mentioned resource. You need to fill
out one form per article requested.
Depending on how many articles you need, you may prefer to stop by the Medical Library
during normal business hours, fill out one Interlibrary Loan form and give us the
list of articles you need. You may also email or fax the list to us with your contact
information. We will then contact you for additional information we may need.
