Requesting items from other libraries

You can have articles or books sent to you from other libraries by using an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Request.

• Most articles requested by ILL come as a digital copy, and you'll receive the article as an attachment in an email. (Typically 2-3 business days.)
• If the item is difficult to locate or an item that needs to be mailed (like a book), the request can take longer-- usually 1-2 weeks.
• Make sure to give yourself enough time for the item to arrive before your assignment is due.

Filling out the ILL form

1. Go to the Holman Library's Interlibrary Loan page to fill out the form
2. Select the type of item you are requesting. (If you found the item through Google Scholar, it is often a Journal Article)

3. Use the information you find on the article's abstract or citation page to fill out the ILL request form:
