Collection Services Annual Report 2012-2013: Get It Now--Copyright Clearance Center

Get It Now

Get It Now from Copyright Clearance Center  allows Furman University students, faculty, and staff with immediate fulfillment of full-text articles from Elsevier journals -- 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  • A patron searches a database for a journal article.
  • If the full-text of the desired article is not available, the patron sees the Get It Now service link to request the article.

  • The Get It Now link is configured in advance through Furman's OpenURL link resolver.
  • The Copyright Clearance Center emails an in color, full-text PDF of the article to the patron and sends a copy to Elaina Griffith, our ILL assistant.

Get it Now

In late spring 2013 Furman Library set up unmediated, Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) access to Elsevier journals through Get It Now (GiN). Working with Andrea Wright, Science Librarian, the CCC, and EBSCO, Janet Nazar set up a custom link to allow students unmediated access to titles that previously went through Science Direct and ILL or a librarian. On Tuesday May 21, 2013 we began offering unmediated access to Elsevier journal articles. Since that time Furman students, faculty, and staff have directly ordered 75 articles through GiN. Collection Services plans to promote GiN in Fall 2013.
