Interlibrary Loan is here to ease your research request burden!

Dislike filling out forms? Well, making interlibrary loan article requests just got easier.  Our most requested type of material from ILL are scholarly articles.  We have just implemented a new feature on the article request form to fill out the form for you and, in some cases, take you directly to the PDF.  If you are a frequent user of ILL, or this is your first time making a request, you will now see a blank field to input the DOI for your article.  Simply cut and paste that identifier into the field and click the “Resolve DOI” button, and the form will auto-populate.

The request can then be submitted right away for fulfillment.  Even better, if the system finds that it is available for Open Access after resolving, you can click again for the PDF to appear.

 

Research in just a few clicks!  We couldn’t be more excited about this enhancement to our service, and we hope you are too!
