What is the UC-eLinks button?

The UC-eLinks button represents a link. Click this button to take you to either: 

1. the full-text of the source you want  
2. to a Request screen so you can easily order the source through Interlibrary Loan

Where will I see the UC-eLinks button?

The UC-eLinks button is located in many of our databases including Melvyl, CREDO reference, Academic Search Complete and many more.  You will also find the words UC-eLinks under the >> symbol in Google Scholar.

If the library doesn't have an item, request to borrow it from another library through Interlibrary Loan.

• Look for a UC-eLinks button or Request button in most databases or catalogs to get to the request form.
• Your library card account number on the form is your UCMnetID.
  • Hint, when searching in Google Scholar, click the >> symbol under the item  description to reveal UC-eLinks.
  • No UC-eLinks? Use the ILL form to place your request.  
• Articles normally take 3-5 business days to obtain. Books may take longer. Articles will be delivered via email for download. Books will be available in print for pick-up at Library Services Desk on the 2nd floor.
