Q. Can I still request an Interlibrary Loan if I don't have all of the information about the item?


Answer


Here is a link to our guide about using Interlibrary Loan. It includes a link to the Sign In page for your Interlibrary Loan ILLIAD account.

If it is not possible to fill the required fields:

  • Use a "?" or "n/a" as necessary and use the notes field to include any additional information you have.
  • If you can’t supply the minimum citation information in the ILLIAD request form, please contact Ask a Librarian for help.

Tips for getting faster service

  • Search the Library One Search for local holdings by:
  • Provide ISSN/ISBN number or OCLC number
    • If multiple ISSN/ISBN numbers are available, use only one in the ISSN/ISBN form field and place the others in the notes field.
    • If provided, the processing of your request may be automated and not require staff intervention.
  • Verify that your citation information is accurate.
    • Do not abbreviate the title of the publication.
    • Place the citation information in the correct fields on the form.
    • Check your spelling and your citation!
  • Choose the proper request form when submitting your request.
    • Using the proper form will help us find the correct item.
    • Submit each article or book chapter individually on its own request form.
  • Use the Notes field in the request form to provide additional information that may be of use.
