Textbooks and required readings for class cannot be requested through interlibrary loan. If you need assistance acquiring these resources, consult the resources listed in our textbook policy.
On the left-hand menu, locate New Request and click on the type of resource needed. Fill out the appropriate fields. Depending on the resource, required information can include authors/editors, title, and page range needed. If available, it is recommended that you also include a standard number, such as the ISBN or ISSN. For music scores, foreign language titles, or other instances in which a specific edition is needed, including the OCLC number from a relevant record in WorldCat can ensure that you receive the correct item. To find the OCLC number, search for the item needed, click on the correct record, and locate the OCLC number under View Description (see image below).
