Place Request Through 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.

1. Click the "360 Link" or  "Check for Full Text" button. This will take you into the catalogue to search for the specific citation.

2. If there are no links to full-text availability, that means we do not currently have access to the article, but you can use the link to "Request item", which will take you to ILLiad. 

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