Get It! @ Ryerson

Get It! @ Ryerson is an exciting new service that will streamline the research process by providing easy access to full text articles in one resource from citations in another.

Many of our Articles & Indexes databases have recently been Get It! enabled. When you find a citation in one of these databases, you will see a Get It! button. Click on the button to quickly determine if you can get the article online, in print or via Interlibrary Loan.

Get It! works as follows:

1. Do a search in a Get It! enabled database (e.g. PsycInfo) and click on the Get It! button

Citation with Get It! button

2. You will get a menu with various options. Usually the first choice is the one you want; click on it.

Get It Sample Menu

The options that you see in the Get It! menu will vary depending upon the article requested. You may see any of the following:

  • link(s) to full text
  • link to the Library catalogue
  • link to request an Interlibrary loan (via RACER)
  • link to RefWorks citation manager
  • link to our Ask a Librarian Chat service
  • link to a feedback form

3. A new window will open with (in this case) the text of the article.
