The best way to request articles is to find them in an article database, and then click the link for Interlibrary Loan. Most of our databases come from FirstSearch or EbscoHost.

If you want to be able to check the status of your Interlibrary Loan requests, you first need to create an account. You can do this in any of the FirstSearch database. Once you have set up "My Account" you will need to log into it each time before placing requests in order for it to be able to track them.
