Need access to article that is "Content on Demand" and it asks for a password.

Some of the journal websites that I have visited say that "Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has access to this article via Content on Demand", and asks for a password for the content on demand. I was wondering if there was a way you could let me know what the password was/if I needed to create one so that I can download the PDFs of these articles.

Answer

As long as you are using a CSHL network computer or signed in through the VPN you will be able to access any articles the library subscribes without needing a password.

On the Springer Nature sites the “Content on Demand” message refers to an admin account that only the Library has access to. We use it sparingly for rush requests.

If you see this message or come across any articles you cannot get access to please contact Jannette at desposi@cshl.edu to request the article through the library’s interlibrary loan service. Jannette can usually supply most articles within a day or so. You can also sign up for an ILLiad account to request articles electronically. Please see information below for how to set that up.

ILLiad is our Interlibrary Loan Service that provides CSHL users access to journal articles, books, and other materials not owned by the the CSHL Library.
