Through Interlibrary Services, currently enrolled students, faculty, and staff may borrow books, journal articles and other research materials not owned by the A. Frank Smith Library. Personal information is stored which means no more filling in the same information over and over again. Articles, many times, are now delivered to your desktop electronically.
Advantages of the system include:
--Ability to track the status of your request from start to finish from any Web browser.
--Ability to view the items you have requested helping to avoid submitting duplicate requests.
--Copies of journal articles are delivered to your account in "PDF" format as soon as the library receives it from the lending library. "PDF" captures all the elements of a printed document, including graphics, of a printed document as an electronic image.
--When searching databases click on the Interlibrary Loan link and the information for the articles will be pulled into the ILLIAD request form.
To learn more about Interlibrary Loan Services, see the Interlibrary Services FAQ page. There is no charge for this service.
Plan ahead to allow for the time it will take to receive the materials requested.
