An additional option for remote access is the UW Internet Connectivity Kit (UWICK).
Articles not available in full-text online or in the Tacoma Periodicals or Tacoma Microform areas may be ordered through the Interlibrary Loan. Select the link that says "Current UW and Cascadia Students, Faculty, & Staff" (Do not use the link for UW-Seattle Health Sciences / Social Work It pertains only to students on the Seattle campus who are required to pay for any article ordered outside of their library.)
After you have entered the Interlibrary Loan system, first time users will encounter a form that needs to be filled out to open an account. All other users will be taken to the main page. At the main page in the menu bar in the left column, select "Get an Article" to order an article.
