Select the item type (artice, book, or journal), enter the citation information that you have into this form, and click submit!  

Fillable "Fetch Item form" also called Citation Linker

If the item is available at STL, the record will appear in the results and specify that it is "Available Online". Scroll to the bottom of the record for links to the databases where you may access the article. 

If the item is not available at STL, you will see the option to "Check for Available Services". Sign in to the catalog using your NPCUID and password. Once you are logged in, there will be a section in the record, "How to Get It", with links to either Interlibrary Loan (for articles) or Resource Sharing (for books) where you can request the item.
