Any article in PDF

A VPN connection from off campus will allow IUB to 'treat you' as though you are on campus (making available certain journals/services/etc.). It also allows Scholar to connect directly to IUB libraries. software here.

Configure Google Scholar to link in to the IUB database (Scholar Preferences--> Library Links-->set to IUB). Most available full texts will be linked in automatically (make a VPN connection first for expediency in linking). Bonus: set it show citations for citation management software - free from IU here

Use IUB delivery for print only articles, a PDF will be emailed to you. This includes journals that IUB owns!!!
Limited to 25 per month. Request Article Delivery

LexisNexis is fine if you hate formatting (imho). I prefer PDFs. Hein online has most of the same (and more!) journals. link
