WATCH UPDATE INSTEAD - How to: Use Interlibrary Loan
Tutorial on how to use Interlibrary Loan. See the O'Malley Library's other tutorials at http://lib.manhattan.edu/how-to
Transcript:
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) lets our library borrow materials from other libraries on your behalf
They can be books, articles or other media
If an article doesn't have its full text in the database you found it in, it will have the Find Full Text button
If an article isn't in our other databases, you'll see a Request Item through Interlibrary Loan button that will connect you to the ILL portal
Type in your email username and password to log on
The info about the article needed for an ILL request will transfer over
Select what your status at Manhattan is from the dropdown
Choose Submit Request
You can request books that are not in our catalog when you've narrowed your book search to just Manhattan College
Choose that you want to search Libraries Worldwide
Click on the title of the book that you want
Click to request Item through Interlibrary Loan
Login like you would to your email
Just like with the article, the information will transfer, so you only need to select your status and submit the request
If you want to just put the information in by hand, you can get to the ILL portal here.
Use the login link here
Choose Create Request
Fill in the boxes that have stars
