The Alternative Farming Systems Information Center (AFSIC) is unable to provide copies of full-text journal articles and commercially-produced reports directly to individuals. This is due to copyright law that restricts the distribution of these materials. There are several ways to receive copies of the articles you need. Most methods involve a fee.

• From an academic library that carries the journal(s) of interest, in print or electronic format:
  Most academic library catalogs are now available for searching through the Web. Check catalog for journal title and back issue "holdings." A directory of U.S. Land Grant University Libraries is available.

• From an Interlibrary Loan request at your local public or academic library:
  Ask at your library about this service; present the complete journal citation if available. For information about the National Agricultural Library's participation in Interlibrary Loan and about Document Delivery Services, go to http://www.nal.usda.gov/services/request.shtml or call 301-504-6503. Non-U.S. searchers should consult an Agricultural Libraries Network (AGLINET) participating library for Interlibrary loan services in their country, http://www.fao.org/library/aglinet.htm

• From a journal publisher's archives:
  Many publishers provide reprint distribution and/or online delivery services for individual journal articles or issues. Check with the individual publisher for availability.
