Another way to ILL

Those of you who use WorldCat--a catalog of books and other resources available in libraries worldwide--may have noticed a new feature we recently added. You can now submit an ILL request directly from WorldCat!

When you are looking at a record for an item you searched for, you will now see a ILL link in that record. You can find this ILL link in the upper left part of the screen. If you click on the ILL button, you will be asked to fill out your name and contact information, and then you click "Submit." If you submit the request in this way, there is no need to fill out the ILL request form on the library home page.

You will still need to use the ILL form on the library home page for article requests, but for books and videos that are searchable in WorldCat, you can use this new direct link right there in WorldCat.

If you need help figuring out how to navigate WorldCat, please feel free to stop by the reference office, or give us a call at 2225, or submit a research consultation request.
