Place a request from a database:

If you find a citation through a database that we don't have in full text, it's easy to request through ILLiad. Just follow these steps.

If there is no PDF nor a link to Full Text, note what type of resource you found.

Since this citation is for a journal, you can click the "360 Link: Check for Full Text." Make sure you have pop ups allowed. This will take you into the Catalog to search for the specific citation. Please wait a full minute for the page to load, as the links to access online can take a bit to load.

Here is what you'll see:

Note, there are no links to full-text availability but there is a link to "Request item." 

Clicking on the link will take you to the ILLiad login screen. 

When you log in, an order form should populate with the citation information. Check to see that all asterisked fields have information in them, then click on "Submit Request."
