Do you need an article or book that the HSHSL does not have access to? UMB faculty, staff and students can order interlibrary loans (ILL). The turn-around time is fast and the service is free for students.

From the HSHSL’s homepage, click the drop-down list for “Resources” and choose “Request Articles & Books.” Next, click on the big blue button that says “Login with UMID and Password.”  If you are a first time user there will be a short registration process (you will need the 14-digit number on the back of your UM One Card id badge).

Choose which type of request you need from the list on the left-hand side of the page: journal article, book, or book chapter.  Fill in the form with the required citation information and click the blue “Submit Request” button. 

You can also make requests when you are searching databases.  If you need something we do not own, click on the yellow “Find It” button and choose “Order a Copy of This Item.”  You will be directed to the ILL form with the citation data already filled in.  Click “Submit Request” and your order will be processed promptly.
