• To access online materials through the SearchWorks catalog, you will need to log in to SearchWorks first. The login is at the top right corner of any SearchWorks page. 

• To access online materials through other site, install the Lean Library extension on your browser.
• To use Google Scholar, input Stanford Libraries as one of your library links in the Google Scholar settings menu.
• Detailed instructions can be found on the Connecting to e-resources page.

First, make sure that you are satisfying all of the Avoid Paywalls strategies. Specifically, check Searchworks prior to submitting an ILL request. Remember, a catalog search does not return articles; similarly, an articles+ search does not return catalog results.

Some resources may be behind a paywall or otherwise inaccessible to you immediately. For situations, submitting an InterLibrary Loan (ILL) request will get you access.
