To Request Books

1. Search for the book you need in CUNY Libraries catalog using the "All CUNY Libraries" search option.
2. If the book is owned by another CUNY library and is a "regular loan" item, request it using the "Request" button. It can be delivered to the Brooklyn College Library's Circulation Desk or another CUNY library of your choice.
3. If the item cannot be ordered through the CUNY Libraries catalog, you may place an interlibrary loan (ILL) request for it by logging into your ILLiad account and completing the book request form.
4. You may also use WorldCat to request any non-CUNY book via ILL; WorldCat will automatically populate your ILLiad request form.
5. If you have questions, see the ILL FAQ for more information.

To Request Articles

1. To determine the availability of a journal article, search the E-Journals Finder and the Brooklyn College catalog to determine whether Brooklyn College owns the journal title, volume, and issue you need.
2. If a journal is available at Brooklyn College in any format, including microfilm, do not request the article via ILLiad.
3. If a journal is unavailable at Brooklyn College, request it via ILLiad in either of these two ways:
   a. fill out the ILLiad article request form manually, or
   b. click on the article's button on the database results page. Then request the item via Interlibrary Loan.
4. Most articles and book chapters are delivered electronically. Articles that arrive on paper will be held at the Circulation Desk for pickup, and you will be notified via email.
5. If you have questions, see the ILL FAQ for more information.
