Requesting Articles GRC Does Not Have in Full Text

Library Databases contains many journal, magazine and newspaper articles in full-text format.

However, if you encounter an article that is not available in full-text in either library databases or internet searches, you can request it for free through the Interlibrary Loan service.  GRC staff will attempt to get a copy of the article from another library and email it to you.

4. Finish filling out the Interlibrary Loan form, click the "Submit button at the bottom. When your item arrives, the library will contact you:

• A digital article will be emailed as an attachment to your email. 
• A book or other physical item will be held for you at the Holman Library's Circulation Desk. You will receive an email notifying you it has arrived and is ready for you to pick up.  

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.
• 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.
