ENGL 200 - Expository Writing II - Salina Campus

When a resource is available online through Search It, it will either have the status of "Available Online" below the title of the resource, or a direct link to the resource (typically as a PDF). For some periodicals (journals, newspapers, etc.), the issue contents are also directly linked so you can easily explore the other items published in that specific issue.

If you do not see a direct access option, you can click the "Available Online" link - this will take you to an intermediate page with access through different vendors (Gale, ProQuest, Ebsco, etc.). Please note that our access differs depending on what vendor you choose. The text below the vendor’s name will give information on the access you can expect in that package. 

When choosing a vendor, look at each to see which vendor has the date range that you need. For instance, if the following resource was from 2022, you would want to choose either ProQuest Central or SpringerLink Journals as both indicate access to items from 2022. 

If you click the title of the item, you will be directed to a details page with options for saving, sending, printing, etc. This includes an option to generate a permalink for the specific resource you’re viewing.

Electronic Resource Issues

If you are trying to access one of our resources and it's not working, you can report the problem by clicking "Report an Electronic Access Issue" in the "View Online" section.

You will be prompted to log in with your K-State credentials and library staff will be in touch about the issue. 

When a physical resource is owned by K-State Libraries and is not currently checked out, below the title of the resource there will the words "Located at" followed by the location and call number. Clicking this call number will open the item record to the "Find it at the Library" section which has more information, e.g., information about multiple copies of a book, loan periods, etc.

• K-State students, faculty, and staff unable to travel to K-State Libraries may use Interlibrary Loan to obtain materials held by K-State Libraries or other libraries. Visit our interlibrary loan webpage for more information about our services for distance users.

Request Retrieval

To request retrieval of a library-owned item, follow the directions below:

1. Search for the item in Search It
2. Once you have located the item, sign into your account by clicking "Sign In" in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

3. Once you're logged in, click on the item's title, which will take you to the "Find it at the Library" section. Then you can click "Request Retrieval"

4. Fill out the request information and click "Request Retrieval." 

5.  This is not a recall process, so if the item is checked out, it will not be retrieved for you until the current loan has ended. Please note that retrievals will take approximately 1 business day to process, though items from the Annex (off-site) may take up to a week. When the item is ready to pick-up, you will receive a notification email.

Interlibrary Loan Requests

When searching, you can expand your search results by toggling on "Expand beyond K-State Collections" in the left-hand navigation:

Results will now include both items within and beyond the K-State Collection.

When K-State Libraries does not have access to a resource, the status will say "Not Available Online. Click for other options" or "How to get it."  If you click on the status, an item record will open to the "How to get it" section and you can request a copy through interlibrary loan.

Express Delivery

Articles from a select number of journals not currently licensed by K-State Libraries may be available through Express Delivery. 
If you locate an article that provides Express Delivery, you can request access to the item by selecting "Express Delivery" under "How to get it."

Please only use Express Delivery for time-sensitive current article requests. K-State Libraries incurs a cost for each article requested using this service, so if the need is not urgent, please consider using Interlibrary Loan instead. You can select Interlibrary Loan clicking "Not available? Request from Interlibrary Loan."

 If you select Express Delivery for your method of access, you will be direct to a new screen where you make a request. When you are ready, select "Request PDF,"

Articles will be delivered to your email shortly from customersupport@reprintsdesk.com.
