Using Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
If the CSB/SJU Libraries don't have an article or book you need, use our Interlibrary Loan service to borrow a copy from another library.
Unpaywall
Tired of hitting paywalls while doing your research and having to wait for an Interlibrary Loan? The unpaywall plugin for Chrome and Firefox will search the web to find free legal copies of the article as long as there is a doi on the page. Visit https://unpaywall.org/ to learn more and install the extension.
