In any search result list on ScienceDirect, simply click on "PDF" to view the needed article.

If you do not see the "PDF" button, instead click on "Order Document." You will taken to a page that asks for your contact information. Fill out this form, which will tell the library that you would like us to order that article and send it to your TCU email address. If we are able to order the article, we will send it to you in approximately one business day.
