ZipSearch

If you are trying to access an article but cannot see the full text, you can request the article from another library through an Interlibrary Loan Request. Often you can do this without manually entering information by using ZipSearch. Having ZipSearch autofill the article information can be a big time saver, especially if you are requesting multiple articles.
