Requesting Articles

If you find a citation for an article you would like to obtain, it is fairly easy to request it through the library's Interlibrary Loan service.

There are a few things to check before submitting this request, however.

First, you will need to check the Journal Holdings List to determine whether or not the library has a subscription to the journal, or has access to full-text in a database or journal collection. If the library owns the journal or has access to the article in full-text, you should not submit an ILL request for the article. If you need help locating or retrieving an article, please contact the Reference Desk (468-1257).

If the library does not subscribe to this journal, or does not have access to a full-text version, you may submit an Article Request Form. To complete this form, you will need to provide your name and an e-mail address, as well as information about the article you are requesting.

You can either copy and paste the citation from a database, or type in the information if you have located the citation in a printed reference list.

It is helpful if you provide the source of your citation. It is not necessary for you to identify a library which has a subscription to the journal.

When the library receives a copy of the article, you will be notified by an e-mail message.
