How to Submit a Request
Search for books in Lucy2 by title or author and search for journals by title or ISSN to see if Skidmore owns what you are requesting. Use the link 'Finding a Periodical in the Library' if you need help locationg the journal. If we do own the correct title and/or volume, patrons may then consult that issue for the article they wanted. 
*If you need assistance searching with Lucy2, please consult a librarian.

Electronic forms are available online just by logging on to Illiad with your Skidmore id and password. Books may also be requested directly from the WorldCat database within First Search Online. 
The Interlibrary Loan staff or Reference Librarian will be glad to assist you or answer any questions you may have.

When filling out the request forms, please provide as much information as you can. There are some required fields so be sure to complete them. Please include the source (WorldCat, PubMed, etc.) in case we need to verify any of the data and always include your name and contact info in case we have any questions about your request. The link on this site entitled Deciphering Citations can help you get the information needed to place a request using various examples of citation forms. 

There is no limit to the number of items that you are allowed to request through Interlibrary Loan. If you are turning in multiple requests, we do ask that you prioritize them.

If you have further questions or need to check on the status of a request don't hesitate to call or email the office.
