Ordering Documents Using SourceOne 6.3

With Dialog SourceOne, version 6.3, you can quickly and easily order copies of original patents and documents, including journal articles, theses and dissertations, technical reports, books, and specifications and standards.

Just fill in the requested information at the menu prompts, and receive complete documents with graphics and charts. You can also order specific items from a set of records. The example below illustrates how to order documents from a specified set.


Topic: In this example we are using the MEDLINE database to locate recent English language articles on riluzole, a treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS. We will then order specific records from a set.

Step 1: Complete a search and view records of interest.

?b 155

?s (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or als) and 
py=2002

?s s1 and riluzole and la=English

?t s2/3/1-8

This search retrieved eight records. After reviewing the abstracts, we are interested in records 1, 2, 7 and 8.

Step 2: Type ORDER and from the menu choose option 5. Enter the set number and item number(s) (e.g., s s1/1-3,6).

  4. Order documents: enter document description 
  5. Order documents: use Dialog set/item numbers 
  6. Review status of document orders (coming soon)
