Interlibrary Loan. Need a book, journal article, or other item not in UF Libraries' collections? Make a request through ILLiad, the online book and document retrieval service, and we will ask another library to lend you the items you need.
UBorrow lets you request materials directly from participating Florida state university libraries when the item is not available at UF. Just search the online catalog, follow the UBorrow links to the statewide catalog, find the item you want, and click the 
button. You can pick up the item at either Library West, Health Science Center Library, or the Legal Information Center.

Your subject librarian can also teach you how to most effectively use your library’s catalog. ...you’ll be much faster if you get some quick tips. Finally, your subject librarian likely has an advanced degree in your field. Consider him or her another mentor..." |
