General Advice
In any of your searching, if you identify an item not owned by the library or accessible through our databases, you can request a copy through Interlibrary Loan. There are three ways to do this:
- Use one of the paper forms available at the Circulation Desk
- Use the web form available at http://www.lawrence.edu/library/ill/.
- Use FindIt.
Be sure to include as much accurate information as possible when you submit and ILL request.
To save yourself time, ask a reference librarian for assistance and advice in finding and obtaining your articles. Librarians can also help you make the best use possible of Interlibrary Loan.
