Pay Per View articles (PPV)

Not sure if folks have seen this before but I ran into an issue last week with a PPV article and learned something new.  When you come across an online journal that is held in a database with a PPV (pay per view), like this one--which is through Science Direct PPV--you'll see all its contents and an option for PDF download; however, it will be for only the abstract.

I learned that with PPV articles, the user can click on the title of the article and, as show below with this Science Direct article, click Order Document and our folks in electronic resources will order and purchase the document through the library's funds, then send the PDF to the user.
