GOOGLE SCHOLAR DELIVERS FROM THE BRITISH LIBRARY


Now you can get articles from the British Library through Google Scholar. This is the British Library (BL) Direct pay-per-view service. Of course you can go to BL Direct yourself to access over 9 million articles from 20,000 plus journals—last five years only. Some are available for immediate electronic delivery; the others can take from 2 hours to 5 days, depending on what you’re willing to pay.

And you’ll pay a lot. Basic prices are: ₤7.75 (plus copyright fee) for immediate download or standard electronic delivery; ₤16.00 for 24-hour electronic delivery; ₤21.00 for 2-hour electronic delivery; and ₤8.25 for mail delivery. These are international prices; prices for UK delivery are slightly less.
