What information is needed for an ILL request?
Include as much citation information about the item as possible. Because incomplete citation information can result in a delay of processing and even cancellation of your request, please provide as much information as you can. For books, include the author, title, publisher, and date of publication. Including the ISBN (International Standard Book Number) for book requests expedites the process. For articles, include the name of the journal/conference proceedings, volume/issue number, date, pages, author, and title of the article. Including the ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) for article requests expedites the process. Additional notes or citation information can be put in the “Notes” field of the electronic request forms. If you are experiencing difficulties in locating complete citation information, please contact the reference desk for immediate assistance or a librarian in your given subject area.
