Hi all.
Have you ever had an article that you knew citation information about and need to have it right away? Of course you have! You're a student, staff or faculty who is always in search of expanding your knowledge base!
Requesting articles through our Interlibrary Loan system is a quick and easy process that can yield the results you're looking for.
To begin, navigate on your favorite web browser to the UC Merced Library's homepage.
From there, mouse over "Doing Research" and go down to "Interlibrary Loan (ILL)".
Go down to #3 which reads: Have a citation? Fill out one of these UC-eLinks Citation Linker online forms to request materials.
Click on "Article Request".
This will bring you into the UC-elinks Citation Linker page. From here, we only require the Journal Title and Date, but the more information you have the better.
Once you plug everything in, click "Continue". This will bring up a new window with various options to attain the journal. If possible, you can "Get it Online" if we have access to that journal (if it is available online we will more than likely have access), or "Find a Print Copy" where another Library will print out the journal and you can pick it up at the Service Desk on the 2nd Floor of the Kolligian Library.
This is also a great resource for other materials than just journal articles.
If you backtrack to the Interlibrary Loan page on the library's website you'll see that back under #3, you can request a book, book chapter, a dissertation, government documents, even a video.
If you have any more questions about the article request process through our Interlibrary Loan system, or any other general questions don't hesitate to ask any of the students at the Service Desk or Help Desk in the Library.
