Requesting Articles with Ovid and DartDoc

Ovid users* may link to full-text or request copies of articles directly from the results of their searches. Links to “Get Full Text” will appear with each citation:

Click on the “Get Full Text” link and a new browser window will open:

If available, you will be able to link directly to the full-text of the article by clicking on the “Full Text” link in Step 1. You may be presented with more than one option; any of them should work. If the Libraries have not licensed a version of the journal which is available for linking, no options will appear. Step 2 offers you the opportunity to search the library’s catalog for print holdings and digital versions that aren’t able to be linked directly.

If you can’t access the full-text of the article in Step 1, then you may request a copy of the article by clicking on the blue “Submit DARTDOC Request ” link in Step 3. A third browser window will open:

-> If you are already a registered DartDoc user, enter your DartDoc Username and Password and click on “Logon to DartDoc.” See below for instructions for new DartDoc users.

Next you will see a DartDoc article request form with the article information already filled in. Make changes, if appropriate, and click on "Submit Request" at the bottom of the form:

You will next see the DartDoc main page . In the light blue bar at the top of the page will be a Transaction Number in case you want to check on the progress of your request in DartDoc:

If you want to make additional requests, close this browser window and return to your Ovid search window. In that window, click on the “Return to Ovid Search” button at the upper right in order to return to the results display:

From your results list, pick another citation by clicking on “Get Full Text.” Return to the open browser window that shows your full-text options; the window is called "Article Linker Results Screen." Click on “Full Text ” or “Submit…” and continue as above, switching between the windows, until you are done making requests.

After your last request, be sure to logout of DartDoc by clicking on the “Exit DartDoc” link in the DartDoc browser window and close the window so that another user doesn’t have access to your DartDoc account. If you are done searching in Ovid, return to your Ovid search and also log out of Ovid in order to free a seat for a colleague.

-> If you haven’t already registered for DartDoc, click on “First Time Users.”

Next you will see the DartDoc home page:

Click on the appropriate “Register” link depending on what kind of user you are. After filling out and submitting the registration form for DartDoc, return to the "Article Linker Results" browser window, click on "Submit DARTDOC Request," and login with your newly created DartDoc name and password and continue as above.

*Ovid users in the Hitchcock.org name directory who are not based in Hanover or Lebanon may see different options presented. See “Requesting Articles with Ovid and DartDoc For Dartmouth-Hitchcock Alliance and Non-Lebanon-Based Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic Users.”
