When I am in WorldCat or any other database, and I find something I want, how do I request it from the library? |

If you are not prompted to go to an interlibrary loan request form automatically, record the information about the item you want, and go to the library home page, and click on the choice “Request an Item” and follow the instructions to place a request. The librarian will fill it as soon as possible. |
