Access to E-resources

To access full texts and library resources, start on the library's website (e.g. Oria, databases A-Z or subject pages). 

This is especially important when you are studying from home. If you are on campus, you will automatically have access to most of INN's E-resources.

Go via the library's website

When you are off-campus, you must use the library's links for access. When searching in Idunn, Scopus, or similar databases, use the links found on the library's website. If you receive a message that the resource requires login, sign in with your Feide ID (student number/password).

Even when searching in openly available databases, such as Google Scholar or PubMed, you should use the links from the library's website. This way, you can access articles that the library subscribes to via the 'Fulltext@INN' or 'oria.no' links. More about this further down the page.

Access full-text articles

There are different ways to access the full text, and sometimes you may need to click several times before obtaining the PDF file. Here is how you access the full text:

From Oria

In Oria, you can read the article/e-book by clicking on the PDF file or following the links under 'Available Online.'

From subject databases

Databases may contain full-text articles, but sometimes only references to articles. In most subject databases, you will find an orange icon that says 'oria.no.

The icon is either in the search results list or within each reference.

• If you cannot find a PDF file, look for the Oria icon. 
• Click on the Oria icon to check if it is possible to read the article in full text in another database or if it needs to be requested.

Install Unpaywall – find openly available articles

The Unpaywall extension will direct you to an open version of the article if one is available. If a green icon appears next to a research article, click on it to read the full article. If the extension does not find the full text, you will see a grey icon.

Add Unpaywall Extension (Chrome, Firefox)

Add INN as your institution in Google Scholar

By adding INN as your institution, the 'Fulltext@INN' link will appear next to search results that the library subscribes to. This way, you can bypass the library's website when searching in Google Scholar.

How to do it:

Click on the Menu in Google Scholar (three horizontal lines at the top left). Go to Settings and select 'Library links.'
Search for and add Universitetsbiblioteket i Innlandet. Remember to save.

Add INN to your Scholar account

Use the Ezproxy bookmarklet

Another option is to install the Ezproxy bookmarklet in your browser. By using the bookmark, you can avoid going through the library’s website to check if you can access the full text.

How to do it:

• Drag and drop this link: EZproxy INN to the bookmarks bar in your browser.
• When you want to check if you have access to the full text of an article, click on the bookmark from the bookmarks bar. The page will reload, and if we have access, the article will appear.
