Once you have determined the data of a desired article (author, title of the article, page number, title of the book or journal, volume, year), e.g. via database search, you can search as usual in the catalog for the book or journal title in which the desired article is included.
After determining the title, click it in case of a book, for journals you have to choose the desired volume first, then use the function “Copy (LEA) of the article".

You can use the function "My account" in the catalog to check the status of your order.

Once the document is available as a link in your library account, you will be informed by email to your official email address at the University of Stuttgart. You have to retrieve the document yourself within two weeks.
