Document Delivery
The following options are the most cost effective full-text document delivery solutions currently available to HKN customers.
Option 1
If your institution has a library, go to that library to obtain the document or to arrange for document delivery services.
Option 2
If your institution has a library, but no document delivery service, the library can arrange to have this service offered through the University of Calgary or the University of Alberta.
Option 3
If you are an individual and do not have document delivery services through your organization, you can order directly from the University of Calgary or the University of Alberta. Please note that your order can only be filled if the document is locally held by either university.
