Off-Campus Services: REQUESTING MATERIALS

REQUESTING MATERIALS

Books

Use GIL Express to order books from any University System of Georgia library.  You can have books delivered to a participating library nearby for pickup and when finished, return them to the same or any other USG library.

For more information, go to the Library's GIL Express page.

Journal Articles

If you have a citation for a specific journal article, start by checking the Library's Journal Locator to see if it is online in any of our databases. If not, you can use the ILLiad system to request the article from another library.

To use ILLiad:

1. Click the Interlibrary Loan link here or on the library's Home Page.
2. Then, "Interlibrary Loan Request Form"
3. Enter your username and password, and logon to ILLiad.  NOTE: If you haven't used ILLiad before, you will have to set up an account.  Use the "First Time Users Click Here" link to create your account
4. Choose the type of request, i.e. book, article, etc.
5. Fill out the form as completely as possible, then "submit request"

Most articles will be delivered electronically. You will receive an email message telling you the article is available. You will have to login to ILLiad to get your article.

For books NOT in the University System of Georgia, use Interlibrary Loan

If you request a book through Interlibrary Loan, you can have it sent to you. Specify in the"notes" area that you want the book delivered, and include your street address (not a P.O. Box). We will ship via UPS.  You will need to return items via UPS or other traceable method such as FedEx or Certified mail.

For more information, go to the Interlibrary Loan page.
