Are there limits on the service?

  • Requests for articles that are available in full-text PDF through licensed databases and electronic journals will be cancelled with instructions on how to obtain the article online. Check find it button.
  • If your library borrowing privileges have been blocked, you cannot get materials through Library Express.
