Ordering Articles in Science Direct

I helped a patron with accessing an article last night. When you click View full text it actually takes you to a preview of the first page of the article and it is not immediately clear how to get access to the full text from there (not to mention it recommends trying JournalFinder)

In the upper left hand corner above the article there is a link to Order the Document. The patron doesn't have to pay anything to order it, they just need to provide some personal information and the article will be emailed to them within 36 hours. I placed a request last night and got it as a .pdf in around 12 hours. Since it was emailed as a .pdf, this is an option that would be available to guest researchers as well.

Every article in this journal is the same way, and several others in the database too.
