IngentaConnect's Search Alerts and New Issue Alerts

The IngentaConnect alert service allows a user to select an unlimited number of journal titles for table of contents reports from over 28,000 journal titles in many disciplines. Individual users may also create and store an unlimited number of search alerts on various research topics, which are run against all the new articles added to the Ingenta database on a weekly basis. Both the table of contents and search alerts results are emailed directly to the user's email address. The Libraries have arranged to pay the fee for faculty who sign up individually for the Search Alerts and New Issue Alerts services.

Document Delivery via Ingenta

The University Libraries subscribe to IngentaConnect primarily for faculty access to the Search Alerts and New Issue Alerts. Another service provided by Ingenta is full-text delivery of articles via pay-per-view delivery. Faculty and graduate students may use this service if articles are needed immediately and Interlibrary Loan cannot meet their needs. The cost per article is usually between $10.00 - $30.00, so we ask that faculty/graduate students check local journal holdings through Journal Titles on the Libraries' web site or ask if interlibrary loan services will meet their needs. When ordering an article from IngentaConnect, click on the "article availability" button. If it is available full-text, the payment method button will already be set to "University of Richmond" for the Libraries' debit account. Questions? Please contact your liaison librarian.
