Creating an ILL Request
There are four principal ways to submit an Interlibrary Loan Request. The third and fourth on this list may often be the most convenient.
From our home page:
If you already know that we don't have your item and you want to go to the request form directly without searching in our resources, you can find it from the Cornette Library's home page under the "Services" menu, on the pages about services "For Students" and "For Faculty & Staff."
From our home-page discovery search:
If you've searched using our home page's discovery tool and found something we don't have here, you can click the "Request the article from Interlibrary Loan" link within the "Get It" section. If you are already signed into ILL, the link will open a request with most of the information about the article or book filled out.
From WorldCat
On the other hand, if you've done a search in WorldCat and found an item listed that we don't have, you can access the request form directly from the item record in such a way that the details will already be filled in for you. From your search results, click on the item's title, which will take you to the item record. In the section entitled "Get This Item," there is a bullet point with a link reading "Request via Interlibrary Loan" on the line labeled "External Resources." Using that link will automatically populate the fields of the request form with your item's details.
From a periodical database search result
If you've found an article through one of our periodical databases, click the "Find Full Text" or similar link. This will take you to our Discover service. From here, follow the directions above from the "From Our Catalog" section.
