+===== Accessing scientific literature =====
+There are 3 common ways to obtain a full-length scientific article:
+  - Directly from the website of the journal. This works for open-access journals and journals to which ETH subscribes. For the latter, you need to access from an ETH IP address (at ETH or through VPN).
+  - For typically older articles, from the main Library (you can request a photocopy on [[http://www.nebis.ch|NEBIS]]).
+  - For articles neither online nor at the ETH library (no subscription), you can send a copy request to the ETH Library ([[http://www.ethbib.ethz.ch/cgi-bin/ilv/ilv_copy.pl?LANG=en|Request Form]]). They will get it for you through partner libraries or by buying the article directly from the publisher.
