Go to https://www.rit.edu/library/borrow-other-locations then select IDS Express
IDS Express can be used to request a variety of materials including journal articles, physical books, book chapters, conference papers, media, patents, reports, theses, and standards from other libraries worldwide or from RIT Libraries' Offsite Collections. Global campus patrons should use IDS Express to place requests for materials held at the Henrietta campus. You can go directly to the website to place your request or click on the [MORE!] button while searching library databases for an item. Electronic items are delivered in PDF format.
In order to link directly from your Google Scholar search results to the helpful resources provided by the library to students, faculty, and staff, follow the instructions below.
NOTE: These settings are specific to each device and each browser you use. You may need to set them up more than once if you search using different browsers.
Step 1: From the main Google Scholar page, click the three-bar "hamburger" menu and then click the gear-shaped Settings icon
Step 2: Select Library Links and search for Rochester Institute of Technology or RIT. If you're working on campus, Google Scholar may automatically suggest this library link. If you're working off campus, you'll probably need to enter the search terms
Step 3: Check Rochester Institute of Technology - more@RIT in the search results, then click Save (please note: Google Scholar requires enabling cookies to retain settings)
When an article's full text is available through an RIT Libraries subscription, you will see the More@RIT link to the right of the citation
CAUTION - Library Links may not work each and every time. Full text is not guaranteed as Google may not update RIT holdings immediately as they change. Keep in mind you will still need to log in with your RIT username and password when you click a More@RIT link from off campus.
