How to Request a Journal Article

2. Fill in all the Personal Information sections or your request cannot be processed.
3. Fill in as much of the Article Information as you can. The more information you fill in and the more correct it is, the more likely you are to receive the article promptly.
4. Finally, click on Send Request to send your request to the Interlibrary Loan Department.

Warning Concerning Copyright Restrictions

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material.

Libraries are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction under certain conditions. One of these conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." The user is liable for copyright infringement if the reproduction is later used in violation of the "fair use" provision of the law.

The library reserves the right to refuse to accept an interlibrary request if, in its judgement, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
