What is the difference between British Library Direct and Articles Direct?
British Library Direct gives you five years of contents page information from 20,000 of the world’s most popular research journals to search. You can then order copies of any article you find on the database. Many of the articles recorded are available as Immediate downloads and many more have abstract information attached. You can only order copies of articles that are recorded on the British Library Direct database. The Blank Order Form, otherwise known as Articles Direct, is a template order form that you can use to order copies of articles that are not recorded on the British Library Direct database but for which you have bibliographic data, e.g. if the document was published more than 5 years ago. You can order one item at a time, and have your documents supplied by mail, electronic delivery, fax or Ariel.
