Document Delivery and PDFs

Blogs > Gatton & External Students Blog

Have you requested, or plan to request, an article from the Library via the Document Delivery system? Sometimes it may be supplied to you by an email that will advise you that the item has been posted on the Web. There will be a link to a webpage where you can login and view your article.

You login by typing your full email address and copying the Item ID from the email and pasting it in the correct box on the login page. Once logged in you should see a list of the articles supplied. Remember, when copying the Item ID, you should copy only the information inside the brackets. Once you have logged in correctly, be sure to read the instructions on the page before clicking the link to view the item.

One important thing to check before clicking on the link is to make sure you have pop-ups disabled in your web browser. More information about doing this can be found on the Library's PDF viewing help page.

You will also need the Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don't have the reader you will not be able to view the document. There is a link on the page that will take you to a site where you can download the program onto your computer. This software is also one of the useful applications included on the Ask I.T. Handy CD. You can contact the UQ Gatton Library for a copy of the CD.
