Get It Now has also proven to be a cost-effective tool for the library for article requests from certain journal subscriptions that have been cancelled due to low use or budgetary constraints.
Driving breakthrough research in STEM, social sciences, and other areas of study requires access to a vast amount of journal articles. This university is known for groundbreaking research in medicine, biotech, and more, and has one of the largest library systems in the world. To support students, faculty, and staff when they require an article from a journal to which they are not subscribed, the library’s borrowing supervisor and his colleagues frequently turn to Get It Now, CCC’s article delivery service.
Get It Now complements academic institution interlibrary loan (ILL) services by providing library patrons with the immediate fulfillment of full-text articles from non-subscribed journals — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — through a cost-effective and easy-to-use service integrated into their OpenURL link resolver or resource sharing platform.
I would recommend Get It Now to other academic institutions based on the ease of requesting articles, the fast turnaround time, and the financial and time savings it provides. It’s a good all-around value.
