How to request a copy of an article?

After you have located an article that you want a hardcopy, please follow one of the following two means:

A. Request Articles via NLM's Loansome Doc System
 


Loansome Doc allows users to order full-text copies of articles from a medical library from citations on PubMed. The Loansome Doc system requries the user to identify himself or herself with a library that will provide the requested documents. Hong Kong International MEDLARS Centre (HKIMC) is one of the libraries that provides Loansome Doc service to all health professionals.
