Borrowing from Other Libraries: ILL Tutorial

Starting your search on our homepage

Use the main search box on the library's homepage to Search Everything, Search Books, or Search Articles.  Try the Advanced Search area to use multiple search terms (for example: title and author, keyword and date of publication, etc.)

An item that is NOT owned by our library will say that it is available "At other libraries worldwide".

• Click on the title of the item
• Then select "Get this for me!" to request a copy through Interlibrary Loan.

Other research databases

The search box on the homepage is just one way to search our library.  We have many other research databases.

When searching some of our popular databases such as EBSCO and Proquest, look for the "Find it at White Library" link.  This link will take you to the article or book that you want.

If the item is not available at our library, look for the "Get this for me!" button to request the item through ILL.

When to use a blank request form:

• Are you searching in a library database but the article's request link is missing?  No problem!
• Are you looking for an article you found on another website but can't find it in the library?  No problem!

Fill out the Interlibrary Loan request form!

There are two blank request forms that you can use:

1. The ILL blank request forms located in My Account (recommended)

ILL My Account Request Form

2.  Or the ILL general request form (also located on the ILL welcome page)
