1. What is Get It!
Get It! is a tool that helps you link from an article citation in a database to the full text of that article. Clicking on the Get It! gives you a menu of services, including:
Not all of these services will always appear when you click on Get It! -- it depends on which database you search and what services are available for that citation.
2. Which databases have Get It! links?
Check the current list of Get It!-enabled databases. You'll only see Get It! links in the Brandeis Library-licensed databases that work with Get It! (SFX) technology.
3. Who can use Get It!
Anyone on the Brandeis campus can use the Get It! links that appear in certain databases. Current faculty, staff and students can also access library resources remotely, and will find Get It! services available for Get It!-compatible databases.
4. Why don't I see any Get It! buttons?
Possible reasons:
5. Why didn't I get a full text link for my article?
Possible reasons:
6. Why is there sometimes more than one option for full text?
We give you all of the available options. The journal may be available through more than one database. Sometimes the format or even the content (supplementary data, illustrations, etc.) may differ.
7. Why does the number of options in the Get It! menu vary?
Only the services available for your particular article will display.
8. I clicked on "Full text available..." but I only got to the journal's home page. Why?
Get It! will try to get you as close as it can to the full text. Sometimes the publisher has structured its Web site so that Get It! cannot link directly to full text. Sometimes Get It! can only take you to the table of contents or the journal's home page, and you'll have to navigate the rest of the way.
9. What do I do when I get an error or some other "not found" message?
The article may be so recent that it hasn't been put online yet, so Get It! cannot retrieve it.
Or, our Get It! links are incorrect. Please let us know via the Report a Problem link. You should get a response within 24 hours -- often much sooner.
