Using Interlibrary Loan to Request Full-Text Articles

Step 1: When immediate full text isn't an option.

If you are searching one of our databases for articles, you may notice sometimes we have access to the full-text article and sometimes we do not. When the Library does not have full-text access, you will see a "Citation Online" link instead of a PDF direct link or other "Full Text Online" link. To request an article, click Citation Online

Step 2: The "Find It!" button

Follow the same steps to request articles that have a red "Find It!" button instead of "Citation Online".

Step 3: The Submit Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Request button

After clicking "Citation Online" or "Find It!" you will see a page to request this article separately through Interlibrary Loan. ILL can deliver electronic articles within 48 hours to your ILLiad account. 

Step 4: Login to ILLiad.

Enter your Ole Miss WebID and password and click Logon to Illiad

Step 5: The form.

The form has been automatically populated with the article's information. Click Submit Request at the bottom of the form to proceed.

Step 6: After submitting your article request.

You will be taken to a page that shows all of your ILL requests. You will be emailed when your article is available to download. Remember to download your articles as the ILLiad platform deletes articles after 30 days.
