(ATN) How to Obtain Medical Articles

AIDS TREATMENT NEWS No. 070 - December 2, 1988
John S. James


AIDS Treatment News often cites articles in medical journals. How can you get copies of these articles if you do not have access to a medical library?

A number of commercial document-retrieval services can take orders by telephone and copy and mail the articles within a few days, usually for less than $10. They can obtain hard-to-find published articles on any subject.

The service we are using is Dynamic Information Corporation in Redwood City, CA, 415/591-5900. Prices for most articles are $4.80 plus 20 cents a page plus copyright (usually $1. to $1.50) plus shipping; copies can usually be mailed within two days if the article is available on the library shelf. Articles not found at major university libraries cost somewhat more. Rush service, overnight delivery, fax, etc., are available. Credit card or prepayment is required on orders from individuals.
