If you only need an article or chapter from a book, you will need to request it through ILLiad. Determine what portion of the book you need and supply us with as much information as you can: whether it is a book chapter or an article, its title, volume, issue, page numbers, and year.
If you have not used ILLiad before, you will need to create an account. This FAQ will help you get started:
Requesting through ILLiad will allow you to:
- Request that library staff scan a print book or journal in the LMU library - use the Article or Book Chapter forms. You will receive a PDF in your ILLiad account once it is scanned.
- Request a book chapter or journal article the library does not own through our research databases, from other libraries - use the Article or Book Chapter forms. You will receive a PDF in your ILLiad account once the lending library supplies it.
- Request a print book the library does not own - start at the Interlibrary Loan tab for options.
Please note: the amount of any one item that we are permitted to copy depends on a number of factors and varies per item.
