How to Request Articles

When you see this option on your article, this means that this article is available only through a request to another library. Not to worry! This can take as soon as a few hours to up to a day or so. For the most part, articles do not take long to get back to us. This is how you request one that you would like.

Click the above button

 

The article information will automatically pull over so that you do not need to fill out anything EXCEPT the bottom section that requests for your name, ID number, and e-mail address so that we can e-mail the article once we get the article from a Library that has it.

That's it! Enjoy the article and make the best paper possible!

How to Request Books from Other Libraries

If you see this option by your book search, this means that we do not have it on our shelves, but we can request it from another library. This will take some time as it has to be first accepted from multiple libraries and it comes through the postal service. If this is an option you would like for a paper, please make at least a week or more for this. But this is a great option for books to read for fun!

(Follow the directions above)

Click the request button. This will pull the necessary information we need of the book that you would like. At the bottom of the screen is a section for your name, ID number, e-mail, and number. These are important and need to be filled out so we can contact you once we get the book in.
