journal accessing trouble

International Journal of Applied Linguistics | Susy Schlaufer | July 12th, 2005

Hi,

I'm trying to get an article from the 'International Journal of Applied Linguistics' (Blackwell Publishing), but I can't manage to access it without paying, despite having logged in with my Athens password. Can anyone help?

What's the article? Give us the author, title, and date, and perhaps someone else can try.

It's the following:

Code-switching as a communication, learning, and social negotiation strategy in first-year learners of Danish

Authors: Söderberg Arnfast J. 1; Jørgensen J.N. 1

Source: International Journal of Applied Linguistics, June 2003, vol. 13, no. 1, pp. 23-53(31).

Publisher: Blackwell Publishing

Thanks,

Susy

Hi Susy,

I'm afraid I came up with the same result:

An online subscription or single article purchase is required to access this article:
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, Vol. 13 Issue 1 Page 23 June 2003: "Code-switching as a communication, learning, and social negotiation strategy in first-year learners of Danish"

This has happened to me before when trying to access articles via Blackwell. My suggestion is to try the library or another Internet resource. Sorry I can't help you further.

Best of luck,

Rob

Hi Susy and everyone,

You can only access articles for free if the library subscribes to the journal in question. I've just searched the library catalogue and it doesn't seem to subscribe to the International Journal of Applied Linguistics, hence the request for payment when you try to download your article. The solution is to request the article from directly from the library on interlibrary loan (details are in chapter 10 of the Study Companion) and they will send you a hard copy. It's worth doing because it really doesn't take as long as you might think.

Hope that helps.

Best,

Sue
