This section of the guide explains how to request journal articles that we do not have in our library collection. The main resource that you will use for this is GoSearch or ATLA. Sometimes you will also request books by ILL through GoSearch or ATLA. If we own the item in any form please visit the library to access the material. If you are a distance student, please visit the Distance Student Guide for more information on how to request items that the library owns.
