Have you ever found a book or resource you wanted to use for a paper but Zondervan Library did not have it?

Interlibrary Loan is a service that allows you to request books and articles to borrow from other libraries.

There are a few differences between requesting books and articles, both processes are outlined below.

1. Sign up for an ILLiad account

Sign up for an ILLiad account here.

This link can also be found on the Zondervan Library home page under Interlibrary Loan.

2. Search for the book using WorldCat

Example: Management: The Basics, Morgen Witzel. 2022.

Click on the book title.

3. Notice the "Access Options" box to the right of the title and description

Click on the Request Item Access purple button to move into ILLiad and request to borrow the item from another library.

4. Place your request

Once clicked, the button takes you to your ILLiad account. You may have to log in to ILLiad using your Taylor username/password or you may pass right through and find yourself on the item request page. The information about the item should automatically fill in the request form. Scroll down to the bottom of the form and click Submit Request.

1. Sign up for an ILLiad account

2. Search for the specific article in library database

Example using Entrepreneurial Studies Source:

Article Title:  Dwyer, S., Richard, O. C., & Chadwick, K. (2003). Gender diversity in management and firm performance: the influence of growth orientation and organizational culture. Journal of Business Research, 56(12), 1009-19.

3. Check to see if it is in another Zondervan Library database

Cut and paste the complete journal title into Journal Finder, located on the main Zondervan Library page (e.g., Journal of Military History)

The Journal Finder will verify that we do or do not own the title in full text in another database or in print. This is an essential step that saves time in getting the article to you. 

4. Send request

If Zondervan Library does not have access to the article, please submit an ILLiad Request. Use the link in the citation in the database - Borrow this item from another library (Interlibrary Loan) - to request the item.

You can also manually fill out the fields for a New Request - Article form in ILLiad, if the handy link above is not available (such as with Google Scholar, PubMed, or an article you find on the web). After completing the form, simply the request.

NOTE

You do not need to purchase an article directly from a publisher. The access to articles this way is very costly. Zondervan is usually able to obtain the item quickly from a another institution.
