New Update to Interlibrary Loan - PMID Has Been Added to the Article Request Form!

Have you requested journal articles using Interlibrary Loan? If so, you are going to notice some new enhancements to the Article Request form in ILLIad! You can now choose to enter a journal article’s DOI (digital object identifier) or if you typically use PubMed, you can enter an item’s PMID (PubMed identification number) in the request form. After you enter a DOI or PMID our system will search for open access versions of the item you are looking for!

If open access isn’t available you can request the item via interlibrary loan just like you’ve done in the past. Since you entered an item’s DOI or PMID, the journal citation information, like the authors, journal name, and journal title will appear automatically in the request form! You’ll be able to scroll down the screen and click the “Submit Request” button to receive the exemplary interlibrary loan service you’ve come to expect from the University Libraries.

Give it a try and please let us know if you have any questions.
