CHEM 5395: Fundamentals of Research

What is it? 

• InterLibrary Loan (ILL) is a way to get items from other libraries that the Alkek Library does not own—journal articles, books, DVDs, CDs, anything you might need for your research.

• Use ILLiad to order your ILL items.  (1) Make an account, (2) enter as much information as you can about the item you need, and (3) the ILL staff will try to track it down. 
• You can manage/track your ILL requests from your ILLiad account at any time!

• Turnaround times vary—to be safe, plan to wait a few business days for an article and at least a week for a book.
