Placing a Request

Placing a request is quite simple, if you are used to using our online ILL forms. After logging into your account, you will have two options from which to choose:

• Request a Photocopy – for journal articles, book chapters, and other items that might be copied
• Request a Book – for items we will borrow, such as entire books, microfilm, and conference proceedings

As always, provide as much information in the request as possible. Please note, some fields are required. If you leave a required field blank, you will be prompted to provide that information.

After completing the request form, click on Submit Request.
