The Libraries would like to offer the following tips for using RensSearch UnCover, the new multidisciplinary database which indexes more than 17,000 journals. This database supplements the Libraries' journal collections with fast document delivery service, and allows Rensselaer faculty and graduate students to order journal articles that are not part of the Library collections directly from UnCover.
Researchers can search for articles by author, article keywords, and journal titles.
Each profile contains library authentication and document delivery information. Other Rensselaer UnCover users can create their own independent profiles. Sometimes the system will accept your order because holdings for a particular journal title are incomplete. If you only want to e-mail a copy of a citation to yourself, but do not want to request interlibrary loan service, you must remove the little check mark displayed beside the Interlibrary Loan electronic mail address. Conversely, if you want to request interlibrary loan service for an article, it is also a good idea to send a copy of the citation to yourself.
