Emailing AVL Articles
For convenience, you can email articles found at AVL to your home computer. Each database works a little differently, so be sure to cut and paste into a word processing document all information you will need to cite the article properly. Refer to the following examples:
Example #1 – At some databases, an e-mail icon is found in the top right-hand corner of the article. Click on the icon, and then type in your e-mail address. Click “send.”
Example #2 – At other databases, at the bottom of the article you may see “e-mail delivery.” Click on this button, and then type in your e-mail address. Click “submit.”
