12.GETTING BOOKS OR ARTICLES OUR LIBRARY DOESN’T OWN

When in VIRGO, choose Interlibrary Services from the blue side bar on the left and fill out a request form for items we don’t own or which are missing from our collection.  We try to get books to you within a week.  Journal articles come sooner, sometimes on the same day.  We can also purchase titles that we don’t own and have them for you within a week.  Fill out a purchase request form to have this done.
