START USING INGENTACONNECT HSU Document Delivery Service

WHO CAN USE IT?
Faculty and graduate students are eligible. Faculty register once, while graduate students need to re-register each fall. Senior Seminar students are issued accounts for the semester as part of library instruction requested by the responsible instructor.

SIGN UP:
Pick up and complete a form from the Information Services Office, Library 112, or print off and return the online form. You will be given the deposit account number and password assigned to your college. You will need this information to set up an account to order articles. Then go to the link on the HSU Library Databases menu, or directly to IngentaConnect.

ACCOUNT SETUP:
When you access the HSU IngentaConnect link you will be prompted for a login and password.

• If you are setting up a new account, click the button labeled "sign up" at the top of the screen, and fill out the setup form. Click "submit". On the "manage profile" screen, choose "claim account" (towards the bottom of the page). Type in the library deposit account number and password and "submit". You are now ready to order. Keep track of your personal account login and password! You will need these to use the service.

HOW DO I ORDER ARTICLES?
IngentaConnect provides articles published from 1988 onwards for over 20,000 journals. To order:

• Search for the article using keyword, title, author, or journal title. Try the "Fax/Ariel Content" option first, and then if you do not find it try "Electronic Content".
• When you locate the article, check "holdings for CSU Humboldt" to find any local electronic or print content using the "FindIt" button. You can request an interlibrary loan using IngentaConnect if you prefer. To order from IngentaConnect, click the title link and "Add to cart". Click "full text availability" and then "Proceed to Checkout".
• You will be prompted for your "account password." This means your DEPOSIT ACCOUNT password. Type it in and click "proceed". A confirmation screen should appear.

NB: You cannot order articles from print titles we own here at HSU. Article costs are subsidized up to $40.00. Some publishers do not permit IngentaConnect to deliver copies of articles in their publications.

HOW DO I SET UP REVEAL TABLE OF CONTENTS MAILINGS?
Choose "Manage Profile" and then "My Table of Contents". IngentaConnect will show you a list of the journals for which you are set up to receive tables of contents ("TOCs") if you have any.

• To set up a new one, search for the journal title on this screen and then click the box in front of the title. The title will be added to your list, and when a new issue enters the IngentaConnect database you will receive an email listing the table of contents. You can order directly from that mailing if you wish.
• To delete a title, uncheck the box in front of the title.

HOW DO I SET A REVEAL RESEARCH ALERTS?
IngentaConnect will send you emailed notification when articles enter their system that match a search you want to monitor. To set up a research alert:

• Run the desired keyword or author search in the database.
• At the results screen, go to "saved searches" on the left hand menu and use the "add to alerts" button to activate your new search alert.
• To delete a Reveal Alert, go to "Reveal Alerts" and click the "delete" button next to that search.

OTHER OPTIONS TO EXPLORE:

• Saved Searches that you can rerun as you choose. These can be organized into folders.
• Marking articles as you browse.
• Some articles now have article summaries to use to evaluate whether you really want to order the item.
