Ingenta is a document delivery service. For articles or papers that the library does not own but are contained in Ingenta, you can request a .pdf or fax of the material within 48 hours. LSU Libraries will subsidize the cost up to $40 per article.
For those of you who use Ingenta as a document delivery service, there is a new interface here: http://lsu.library.ingentaconnect.com/. You should find it a little easier to use than the last incarnation.
For those who need a refresher on accessing Ingenta here is a copy of the instruction sheet:
Accessing Ingenta: Instruction Sheet
(For any questions or additional information see the Interlibrary Borrowing web page (http://www.lib.lsu.edu/lib/ilb/ ) or call (225) 578-2138.
- Finding your way to the Louisiana State University Gateway Logon Screen:
- From the LSU Libraries homepage (http://www.lib.lsu.edu/), click on the Ingenta link under Services.
- Navigate through the subsequent connection/authentication pages – if you are connecting to the LSU Ingenta gateway from off campus, you are required to demonstrate your university affiliation by entering your 17-digit Tiger Card ID Number and your PIN.
- After authentication/connection to the gateway, you arrive at the Logon Screen
- Logging in to the Louisiana State University Ingenta Gateway:
- University Faculty, Research Staff, and Graduate Students are able to create User IDs and Passwords for use in logging into the Ingenta gateway. At any time after you create a User ID and Password and forget either, you can retrieve this information by clicking the “forgot your password?” link on the Logon Screen.
- New users have two options for creating User IDs and Passwords:
- Creating a User ID and Password by entering your 17-digit Tiger Card ID Number:
- Enter your 17-digit Tiger Card ID Number in the field on the Logon page that asks for it specifically.
- Once you are recognized as a Faculty member, Research Staff, or Graduate Student, you will be taken to a registration page where you can create a User ID and Password for using the LSU Ingenta Gateway.
- Now that you have a User ID and Password, you can login to the gateway from the Logon Page – your profile is saved and your User ID is now, already, connected to our Patrons Deposit Account, which is used to subsidize your Ingenta purchases (up to $40 per article).
- If your ID Number is not recognized by Ingenta, then you should register for a User ID and Password by clicking the Register button on the Logon Page. Some users’ IDs are not recognized at the beginning of a semester, before new patron information is sent to Ingenta.
- Creating a User ID and Password by registering as a new user:
- Click the Register button on the Logon Page to complete the registration form; the only difference between registering by clicking the Register button and registering by entering your 17-digit Tiger Card ID number is that you will not be connected to the Patrons Deposit Account if you register by clicking the Register button.
- Therefore, after completing this form and selecting a User ID and Password, send an email to Gayle Campbell at libilb@lsu.edu with your User ID and Password, telling her that you are a new user and would like to be connected to the Patrons Deposit Account.
- She will connect your profile to the account, which is used to subsidize your Ingenta purchases (up to $40 per article).
- You can always use your User ID and Password, once you have them, to login to the LSU Ingenta Gateway, and you should always use your original User ID – if you create a second User ID, it will not be connected to the Patrons Deposit Account and your article purchases will not be subsidized by LSU Libraries.
