How do I know if my computer can receive electronic articles?

You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed and configured to work with your Web browser in order to view, download, and print these articles. If you can read the sample page, then your computer has the necessary software installed to work with your Web browser. However, if your computer tells you the file type is unknown and asks if you want to save the file to disk, then you need to install the Adobe Acrobat Reader software.

How do I get Adobe Acrobat Reader?

Adobe Acrobat Reader is available without charge from Adobe Systems, Inc. Click the "Get Adobe Reader" button to go directly to the download page.

What if I do not want electronic delivery?

Electronic delivery is the McGILL default. Paper delivery will be provided only if you choose it as an option on your Personal Information Form in McGILL.

How do I know which requests will be electronically delivered and which ones will not?

A potential lending library may be restricted by their licensing agreements with publishers and may not be able to provide an electronic document. In that case, the document will be received in print format.

McGILL sends you an e-mail notification for each item received. That e-mail will include information about the delivery method.

How do I get my articles when they arrive?

1. Logon to McGILL
2. From the main menu, click the "Electronically Received Articles" link under the View Requests options.
3. A list will be displayed containing all of the items that you have waiting to be viewed or downloaded.
