You can submit multiple article requests in one email. For example, you could collect a list of citations in your PubMed clipboard. Then copy and paste all the citations into your Interlibrary Loan Request that you submit to the Library Technicians group email.
PubMed remains your key source for indexed, peer-reviewed literature. Copies of many articles are available for free, others for purchase, see "How do I obtain the full text of an article?"
In addition to PubMed, the following resources offer access to journal articles:
PubMed Central (Over 6.3 million articles available, as of July 2020)
Google Scholar
Publishers’ websites
Online free article services and collaborations
